Mine is a fairly (very!) simple card. I used a stencil to blend some Speckled Egg distress ink in an oval shape. I purchased this ink when it first came out and it's been sitting, still wrapped, on my ink shelf since its arrival! I then stamped a MFT flower trio - which seems to be my go-to sympathy stamp. I really like the simple elegance of the stamp. I finished things off with a sentiment from My Craft Spot, some black paint splatter and three little pearls. I decided I liked things better without the pearls but they were not having anything to do with me removing them without a trace so I decided they could stay.
Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends have done for backgrounds - and then join in the fun too!
I love the simplicity, it is simply beautiful and perfect for the challenge. (Speckled egg is one of my favorite distress colors😊).
