My card today was made a couple of weeks ago and is one for my charity box.
I used the flower from my recent club demo where I demonstrated the whitewash technique. I wanted to try it on black card too so embossed and cut out a flower with black card. I painted some ink from a Brilliance white pad onto the flower and when dry painted over areas with a purple distress ink.
The leaves were cut from a scrap of black card and the music paper is from a small piece I had left from a card I made at a recent workshop with Wendy Stenton.
We had heat embossed and coloured some flowers and leaves. I cut them out and stuck on in the corner just above the bow in the afternoon. It was great fun to make.
As my sympathy card was made with snippets I would like to join in with the girls in the Playground at :

This whitewash technique is one I have to try yet. Your card is so beautiful, love the whole design and the flower!!
Two beautiful cards, Barb. They're perfect for sympathy cards, but would also be great designs for birthday cards. I love the piano keys on the bottom one, very clever. xx
What a lovely effect on that flower Barb, such a pretty card! The piano is a terrific design, so clever! Have a lovely weekend! Luv & Hugs. Hazel xx

Lovely cards Barb. I think the sympathy card is very tasteful and love the flower you have used as it is such a pleasant change from the traditional Lily often chosen for such cards. x Anne

Apologies for missing out on commenting on some great cards Barb, this pair of music themed ones are stunning, the sympathy one is perfect.
Hi Barb, Thanks for the recent visit after I'd been MIA for so long. Lovely to hear from an old friend. I love the technique you've done on this floral sympathy card. The flower is just stunning and it looks so pretty over the musical score. It's a perfect sympathy card as well, and you've done a super job in the designing. Hope that your time away was loads of fun, and now you're home again and can rest up! Hugs &TFS
Wow! This is fabulous! Judy x
