#DOswts454 - Blog Hop Prayers & Promises Sympathy Card



Greetings! 

Here's today's sketch: 



And here's my card:


Today's card features the Prayers & Promises stamp set and prints from the beautiful NEW Valley In Bloom Designer Series Papers (DSP).  The lovely soft colors of the prints provide a perfect foundation for a heartfelt sentiment.

Techniques include dying Baker's Twine using drops of ink refill and isopropyl alcohol.  Check out the details below.

Beverly's Tip of the Day

When looking for a ribbon or twine to match your project feels futile, here's an easy fix.

Mix together a few drops (I used about 6) of ink refill with isopropyl alcohol in a small container, and place your ribbon or twine into the solution.  A cotton or linen twine or ribbon will absorb dye the best.  Remove from solution, place on a paper towel to dry and it's ready for your project. 


I mixed the solution in the silicone mat which is part of the Stampin' Glass Mat Studio.
