Bonjour !
Izzy here with some sympathy cards.
Recently I've unfortunately had to send a sympathy card. This kind of card is may be for me the most difficult ones to make. Not just for the reason why you're doing it, but also how, within your design, to spread the message of support, courage, and hope for better days. That's why I think the simplest, the better.
Here is the card I send to my friend. I used the beautiful blooms of the Hello Lovely set that I stamped in black and fussy cut.
On a double white card, I blended some Distress oxide inks to make like a dawn sky. I stamped the sentiment and I foam mounted the florals.
I thought it would be useful to have some cards like this in stock. So I made another one using the Ink & Flip - Geometric Hexagon layering stencil together with the English Country Garden Butterflies set and die.
To make the background, I softly brushed Distress ink on one of the layers of the stencil and I did not flip it.
On the same blue/grey card stock, I stamped the big butterfly of the set and I coloured it with coloured pencils. With the matching die, I cut it and I fixed it on the card with glue dots.
For the sentiment, I used one of the Flower Power #1 set.
For my last card, I die cut a circle that I coloured with brushed blue Distress Ink. Then I stamped in green the Just Because set. To make the background, I masked the flower and I stamped the Large Background French Scrip set. Once again, I used a sentiment from the Flower Power #1 set.
Well, that's all from me today. Thanks for joining me and hopefully I've given you some more inspiration with those "difficult" cards to make.
Have a lovely Week and thank you for stopping by.
