Sympathy cards are not much of a staple in my stash. Often if I am making a sympathy card it's for a particular person. This Hero Arts image is often a go-to for the sympathy cards I need to make because it is so large it helps fill the space without cluttering the cardfront.
CAS is my mantra when making this type of card. I really struggled with adding the bakers twine even because I was worried that the fibers would change the vibe of the card. It looked a little too plain without anything though.
I've dropped this card off at these sites:

Such a pretty card.
ReplyDeleteI usually make as I need them. Then I am rushing and stressed. I keep meaning to make some to have on hand. But never get around to doing it.
You have done such a beautiful job with this card, it is a little uplifting which people need at this time. When my mum passed away I was a teenager and all I remember was dull boring cards,( I know the words meant alot though) but you have taken the time to make yours and in such a beautiful way.

Such a beautiful card! I agree, sympathy cards should be personal and not mass produced. I like how you filled the space without it looking too cutesy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at Frosted Designs!
A beautiful card, I don't (thankfully) make too many, but I usually go for trees or flowers & not too many embelishments ~ I think your is perfect.
