I love the stamp set "Thoughts and prayers", it has such pretty images and sentiments. I saw something I had to try in the new catalogue (Coming July 1st!) and so I pulled out my new watercolour crayons. They haven't gotten a lot of rest since I bought them. Then the package of Twill tape that has never even been opened was brought out and gave this technique a try. Another new purchase that I cracked open was the Bella Bleu Designer Paper and it is beautiful. I Love Stampin's Up Paper! Well, most of it and strangely enough even the ones I don't like initially I learn to love! (See Rainbow Sherbert)
I coloured the stamp with the crayons, spritzed the Twill tape with a water mister and then stamped the image on to that. The image came out a little light but I think for a sympathy card and with the gorgeous paper, it works really well. I will definitely be using the twill tape more often since it ties really nicely, can be stamped on and comes in 3 different widths.
This is the inside of the card -
I will definitely try this idea again!Supplies :
