SYMPATHY CARD FOR CHILDHOOD FRIEND

RAINY DAY ON THE BEACH SYMPATHY CARD
If I could think of the worse reason to send a card to one of my childhood friends, it would be this. The passing of a parent. The image I chose to use is from my new The Journey set from Gina K. The Adirondack Chairs, empty on a rainy beach seemed entirely appropriate since my friend is on Prince Edward Island and when we lose someone so close, the beaches seem sad even on a sunny day.

I used my prisma markers and coloured the images. I used the Adirondack chair twice, the grass stamp and the pebble path stamps from the set to lay out the scene. The sand is that orange colour because on PEI we have 'red sand'. I used my Diamond Glaze to add water to the chairs and pebbles. I then took my white gel pen and dragged it quickly across the entire image in rapid swipes to make it look like it was raining. The sentiment is computer generated.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope this card gives you an idea or two. Pop back soon for another card featuring one of our Sunshine's Stamps.
