Just wanted to pop in and say hello and post a few ideas for sympathy cards. I know that sometimes they can be hard to make. I like to use soft colors and natural elements...like flowers or butterflies. I made these for a card order.
Card #1
Two embossing folders were used for this card. I applied Distress ink to the bird and then layered.
Card #2
The background is a DP from K & Company; the stamp is from Hero Arts.
Challenges for my Sympathy cards:
Brown Sugar: anything goes
Jo's Scrap Shack: anything goes
Just add Ink: just add texture
Sister Act: anything goes
I hope that gives you a few ideas for making sympathy cards. I will be back on Monday with a new challenge with Love to Scrap with a Thanksgiving card. See you then and have great weekend. Love ya
Karen

ReplyDeleteSympathy cards are even more difficult than male cards! Love the soft colours you chose, very subtle and elegant.

They are both lovely sympathy cards Karen. I found the simplicity of the first quite striking - and the texture adds just the right amount of detail. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
