Sympathy Gelli Plate

Sympathy Gelli Plate 

I made three sympathy/praying for you cards last week. For all three cards I used the sentiment from SU set Flourishing Phrases. I love this sentiment because when one is going through a difficult time, or time of loss, it is so powerful to know that people are thinking of them and praying! For this one I used a gelli plate and stencil to create the background. I placed the stencil on the gelli plate and sponged the distress oxide ink over the stencil, removed the stencil, and then pressed the paper down on the gelli plate. For the flower from Stampers Anonymous Flower Garden, I diecut the flower, then used distress crayons to color the flower, and followed with stamping the image on top.
