I love this card

In a recent zoom we made cards using a few techniques by Eileen Godwin. We watched her video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV7ikfhcZAs  to see how she does it. I love the soft look her cards produce and love the cards we all made. 

I used Distress Ink and brushed the colors over a stencil. Then I used a Lavinia stamp called Sacred Tree and stamped over it. It's so easy and the results are pretty.



Be kind to one another.

I love this card too. Fantastic design. Stenciling on the background is fantastic. You have chosen perfect stamp of the tree to complete the friendship card.

I love it, too! I think we all got good results, although I haven't finished mine yet. I really like how your stenciling looks in the background, Brenda. It's all ghostly and perfect to go along with that magnificent silhouette tree! Hugs, Darnell
