Stamp: Butterfly embossing folder and stamp (freebie from Papercraft Essential#104), With Sympathy clear stamp, floral oval frame clear stamp
Others: Ink It Up stamp pad, white card
I embossed the white card with the floral butterfly embossing folder, a freebie from craft magazine. Quite easy to make this card actually, no colouring needed. I fussy cut the stamped butterfly and the framed sentiment, adhered onto corrugated paper for some dimension before adhering to the card.
Inking the clear stamp with Memento dye ink did not yield satisfactory result (see below photo) as compare to using Ink It Up stamp pad which cost half the price of Memento.

Beautiful sympathy card, sure to bring peace and comfort to the recipient. I love all of that embossed texture and great fussy cutting, they look like die cuts, well done! Weird on the ink, huh? I wonder if it is an inexpensive stamp, sometimes that happens with them. I found rubbing Versa Mark Embossing ink over the surface of the stamp helps the black ink to stick much better. I also have many black inks looking for the crispest one. Brutus Monroe and Gina K Designs both make one that work really well. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Double D, Black And White Challenge, Donna, DT Member.
