Sympathy Card

I am really happy with how this card turned out. Since I will be doing emboss resist at Kim's party, I figured I'd make some other samples of different ways that this technique can look.

Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes, Close as a Memory
Paper: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White Cardstock 
Ink: Versamark, Bashful Blue, More Mustard, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Embossing Gun

1. Score 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Bashful Blue cardstock at 5 1/2 and fold.
2. Stamp Pocket Silhouettes along bottom of 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Whisper White cardstock using Versamark ink. Emboss with clear embossing powder.
3. Use sponge or cotton ball to cover the entire piece of cardstock with Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, More Mustard, and Bashful Blue ink.
4. Stamp sentiment from Close as a Memory.
5. Mat inked cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock.
6. Adhere to Bashful Blue card base.
