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!
