Cannot "Resist " In Full Bloom



I like this set alot, but do not have it in my stash. Anyone that knows me would be surprised I like it as much as I do. I like it. I like all the stamps in the set! I used it to create a soft sympathy card. I am still trying to get a softness down for sympathy cards, but I think this does it.
I used a resist technique. I do not have a brayer, but I have paper towels - so call it a poor mans brayer. I used versamark, stamped on glossy paper, and then used an inked paper towel and made circles on the glossy paper until the image came through clear. It gives a faux embossed looked to it. I cut the images out and then used dimensionals to give the 3D look.
I am pleased with the lay out.

Another look at Tile Technique....



So I thoughtI would try again that TILE Technique that I tried earlier. I am getting better... I better I have to make about 10 cards with this technique.... I didn't put a sentiment on the card, since it was my draft, but I was hoping for SYMPATHY cards..... we shall see... must perfect the technique first!!!
