Just a note to say hello.
I know none of us really like to make sympathy cards, but there comes a time to send them. I don't usually like to keep them on hand. It seems more meaningful to me to make one that can be personalized and made special for the recipient when I get the sad news. Now today, I need to send two! Here's the first one. I prefer light colors and simple layouts for sympathy cards.
Choosing three shades of rose/pink I used the Honeybell Floral Wafer Die, cutting the images twice, and adding inking to the edges of the pieces.
I found a fence die that's been camped out in my stash for a few years. It holds the flowers nicely!
I debated inking a cloud-filled sky versus keeping a white background. I decided to go very very light with the sponging, and I'm glad I did. Altenew Blue Horizon ink is my new favorite for clouds.
A very light swipe of yellow for the butterfly completes the scene.
I will wish you a happy weekend, enjoy sunshine and special times with the ones you love! See you next week.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

What a lovely way to send your sympathies, Cindy. So sorry you needed it, but it will be appreciated.
I really prefer a sympathy card that doesn't add to the sadness, and your light and airy scene is ideal. How pretty with the flowers growing through the fence. Love the pale sky background and the butterfly fluttering heavenward. I'm sorry you needed two sympathy cards. I never used to make ahead, but these days I like to have them at the ready.
Lovely sympathy card with your pretty Honeybells. Love the colors. Sorry you needed a sympathy card but it is a nice way to send your sympathies.
