Hello Friday!
I’m getting ready for a Card Buffet this weekend so I am designing lots of cards in preparation for it.
Sadly, I had to create a condolence card for a good friend who lost her mother earlier in the week.
These are never an easy card to create. And, how did I not have one just in case I needed one????
I came up with one. I kept it simple and to the point.
I decided to use serene colors. And, this stamp set, Kindness & Compassion, was perfect. Wording is key for these type cards.
I’ll admit, I was stumped. Yes, me, the avid card maker.
I had to get inspiration from two sources :
And, Freshly Made Sketches –
Luckily, the colors and the sketch were just what I needed for this type card. Wouldn’t you agree?
- Stamp Set – Kindness & Compassion
- Dies / Embossing – Subtle Embossing Folder
- Card Stock – Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, Shaded Spruce, Soft Seafoam,
- Ink – Shaded Spruce
- Other – Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape
This is simply beautiful. These cards are never easy to make (or send) but you’ve captured the essence of a sympathy card perfectly. I’m so glad Freshly Made Sketches gave you some inspiration. Thanks for joining us this week.
Thank you, Jen! Always great challenges, for ANY occasion!
Love this card! It’s so clean and fresh – you’ve created a wonderful sympathy card. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
Thank you, Narelle!
