Unfortunately I had to make a sympathy card

stamped sentiment and a small half pearl as embellishment

stamps: Darkroom Door, Prickley Pear

A Little Fish

swimming in a marbled ocean (lol). I LOVE this stamp
To create this marvellous marbled background I followed Shar's background technique using glossy paper, Ranger distress ink Faded Jeans, shaving foam and water. It worked like a dream! There is only a teeny tiny side-effect with the shaving foam, I couldn't find an unscented one ... Petra.
