Another brayered sympathy card

This one is quite simply brayed along each corner of the white card then stamped.  It was a little too bright so I then spritzed it with water and a little gold powder (this gives it a misty effect with a very slight golden sheen when tilted).  Ignore the fluffy bits at the top of the olive layer as this just brushes away – which I meant to do before I photographed it.

 Today I was going to do the next tag challenge over at ukstampers…..then I was going to make a start on some Christmas cards……but I ended up making a sympathy card – how did that happen??   I just couldn’t bring myself to think about Christmas yet, even though I really aught to, and I had just put away all my fabric so I didn’t want to haul it all out again and I don’t know about you, but when I really need a sympathy card my mind goes blank and no ideas are forthcoming.  I will do a few designs over the next few days so I can have a few cards ready when the need arises.  I have made one similar to this one recently but it didn’t feel right to post it on my blog at that time.
