We all know they're sometimes the toughest cards to make - sympathy cards. I always try to have a couple in my stash, but I just don't enjoy making them - mainly because I always feel so useless when someone else is suffering...and I hate that feeling.
I really needed to get a card made, too, since there's been some sad occasions lately that required them. I used some great Verve stamps (sentiment from New Mercies & leaf from Forever in our Hearts), as well as the opportunity to make another Center Step card (my new fave!). The colors were inspired by a Verve challenge to use brown, green & pink. The Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette and Mellow Moss worked well together, I thought, for a simple card to convey my sympathies.
The Sisters have some fabulous inspiration for you over at The Sisterhood of Crafters, so head over and show us your Sympathy creations for a chance to win a $10 voucher from Can You Digi It.
Lovely card and the color combo is so soothing. Perfect for this type of card. These ones are a must have for the stash...When the time comes and it's needed, that's the time you really don't feel like making it. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely, Tanny...very peaceful and heartfelt...I agree, never fun to make, especially when it's for a particular person. And you've got the Verve Challenges on the go! Woohoo! You are going to LOVE the new release :)
