Sympathy Cards

Hello

This post shares ideas for cards for the sad times.

Stamps used on the above cards are from Kaszazz and Stampin'up.

The gum tree and sentiment images on these two cards are from Darkroom Door.

I hope you will not have occasion for this type of card in the near future.

Sympathy Cards

Hello

Here are a couple of ideas for cards for the sad times.

The first card is a ivory base, layered with a patterned paper. The bird section of paper was cut, layered to additional ivory card then mounted over the base paper. The sentiment (from Kaszazz) was stamped and pearls added down the left. 

For the second card a background was stamped with Stampscapes stamps, the willow tree was then stamped. Shading was added with watercolour pencils. This panel was layered on to additional white card, then on to a white card base. A label was stamped and added and pearls applied.

The third card is Darkroom Door Gumtree and sentiment stamped in coloured ink on to white card. The shading is done with dye inks. This was added to a panel of ribbon wrapped white pearl card, then to a white card base. Pearls were added to corners.

Trees, nature images and peaceful scenes are suitable for these sad times.

Sweet Nothings-Sympathy Card

Hello
Today I am sharing with you a beautiful Sympathy card.

The card base uses Stampin'up smoky slate card, and the sentiment (from JustRite stampers) is stamped on S'up vanilla card.
The card front is matted with paper from Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings 6 1/2" paper pad, which was first embossed, the edges distressed and shaded with TH antique linen ink. A shaded paper doily was then attached.
The sentiment was stamped with Coffee archival ink, die cut into a circle, then distressed and shaded, and attached to the lower right.
Three Sweet nothings collectibles were then attached using glue dots, and dimensionals for the basket. Three mini paper blooms with the stems curled were tied with a bow and then attached.
Three pearls to the top left corner and a tiny silver heart brad to the bottom right, finished off the design.
The sentiment on the insert is also from Just Rite and is stamped in coffee ink.
A beautiful way to send your condolences.

Hello
A Sympathy card today. Something we would like to never need.

This card is in Whisper white and smokey slate.
The front panel is embossed in clouds folder, and has slate chevron ribbon, fastened with a glimmer brad wrapped across the lower section. This panel is taped to the card front.
The image and sentiment are stamped with versamark and embossed with smokey slate powder. This is then die cut with an oval and paper pierced, and matted (offset) onto a same sized oval in slate.
This is then attached to the card with dimensionals.
Tiny pearls are added to the flower centres

The insert uses the same stamp set and slate ink.

Till next time
