Deep Sympathy

A family-friend's father died unexpectedly necessitating a sympathy card.  Boo!  But this came together rather quickly:

Supplies:

• Strathmore paper masked with a torn edge and inked with the following DOx: Faded Jeans, Frayed Burlap, Bundled Sage
• Tim's Stripes stencil laid over the inked area and spritzed with water
• Sentiment brushed using those same inks listed above, sorting here and there to alter the colors
• Splatters added with the extra ink on my mat
• Tim's wildflower inked with DOx in Peeled Paint and Bundled Sage

I'd like to share this at the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp on Wednesday: Anything Goes
• Stamps and Stencils: Ombre (well, I kind of blended multiple colors for the gradient of the striped part, but the letters are ombre-ish too!)
