Unfortunately, I needed a quick sympathy card to get in the mail today.
This is one of my favorite ODB images! I colored with chalk pencils to achieve a soft look. The embossing folder is by Darice. A bit of chalk sponged on the sentiment adds highlights to the texture. The cs I used is Recollections shimmery silver - I really like the result when it is embossed, and it is great for stamping images such as this one.
