Nobody likes to have to send sympathy cards, but occasionally it's necessary. I found myself in that position this week. A friend from a card swapping group I'm in lost her husband, and so I found myself having to make a sympathy card. Since this card is going overseas, I didn't want a lot of bulk.
I grabbed some spray inks and spritzed white cardstock. Then, when dry, I ran it through an embossing folder. I liked the texture it gave. I added some silver pen highlights to some of the embossed flower centers.
Next I got out some Stampin Up!™ flower stamps (Flower Shop #130942 and Petite Petals - retired) and stamped them in a light blue on white cardstock, punched them out and adhered together. Added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in the center.
I needed some leaves, so I got out my Gina K. Designs Stitched Leaves stamps, and die cut and stamped the leaved.
The With Sympathy stamp is also Gina K. Designs, but I can't find the name of it, so it may be discontinued. There is a beautiful sentiment for the inside that goes along with it.
Happy with the results, but sad for the circumstances.
Inky hugs,
