I usually put butterflies or Dragonflies on y sympathy cards, but this time of year, a snowflake seemed better; their unique and ephemeral nature makes them a good allegory for the fragility of human life (yeah, I'm overthinking it).
I have been wanting to try this technique ever since I got this medallion stamp from
SweetStamps:
The parts that look gray in the scan are actually silver. The large silver rectangle is a piece I painted myself a while back, and the silvery accents on the medallion are done with Stargazers. All the stamping here is heat-embossed. I love the look and texture of heat embossing. It is one of the reasons rubber stamps will never go away.
