Hero Arts: Tall Wheat stamp




Thanksgiving is a holiday too! I want to send a card to family members I won't see on that day.

This versatile Hero Arts Tall Wheat stamp was purchased at Michael's. After using brown or orange Tim Holtz distress markers, I tried a gray one. Voila! perfect image for a sympathy card. Those are challenging to make!

Here is the Sympathy card with the wheat stamp but this time the greeting is a HA Sympathy stamp. I use these frequently... lots of great interior messages.

I used the same foil oak leaf as accent
