My kids' swim coach's mother is in her last days of lung cancer and I thought that today's pencil sketching would work well for a sympathy card. I punched my circles and then stamped with stamped off Smoky Slate. I then went back and added in detail with my pencil and then blended with a blending stump for a softer look. I went extra light on the sentiment panel. I added some pencil around the edges of each circle and blended. I lightly distressed the striped bg panel before adhering.
Thanks for another lovely technique!

Fantastic job with the technique. Your sketching looks great. I like the three circles for the design. Into my favs. Thanks for sharing. Your card will bring comfort.

Your shading is lovely! I would not have thought to use a blending stub, but it worked beautifully!
