sympathy at Christmas (or not) BINGO challenge

Good morning friends and welcome to May! A sympathy card probably isn’t the best way to start the month, but I thought this layout worked well for one after I’d pulled together the elements from column I on our new challenge board at Christmas (or not) BINGO. It gave me another excuse to play with the new elementree stamps from Clarity as well (not that I really needed one!)

I started with the ink blending and green elements from the grid, masking off a panel on the front of an A6 card blank with low tack tape. I blended ‘bundled sage’ and ‘rustic wilderness’ Distress Oxides into the panel using stencil brushes.

I took two of the stamps from the set and stamped them across the card front with ‘watering can’ Archival ink as randomly as I could, so they looked like they were falling across it – that’s my stamped image from the grid.

It’s a one layer card (tick), so I simply added the entwined sentiment in the centre, again in ‘watering can’.

This would look good in a variety of colours – I just wish I’d made my blended panel a little wider. That aside, we’d love to see how you’re inspired by our grid – you just need to select one of the columns and include at least three of the elements on your creations.

  4. The calm serenity of the green tones and falling leaves is a wonderful idea for a sympathy card! The CAS style also helps keep it that vibe of ease. Well done use of Column Ii elements on the #13 bingo board! Thanks for creating a terrific project for ConBC design inspiration section! — Becca
