Always, always, my "Sympathy" category of cards at the shop empties out much too soon on a regular basis. It's a sad reminder that death is a part of life. When I make sympathy cards, I try hard not to think about the loss involved. Instead, I focus on creating something with soft beauty that will offer quiet peace to the recipient.
Something like this...
Very few materials were needed for this, and the tranquil shades of aqua seemed perfect. The silhouetted flowers and sentiment are from Hero Arts.
Thank you so much for dropping in today. See you soon...

So pretty! The perfect sympathy card!
Lovely soft card
That's perfect advice for approaching sympathy cards! So much easier to do when you've got them made up ahead of time, too, instead of trying to make them as they're needed...why I tend to make them up in batches (because for me they sell fast too. :( )
CAS elegance! Love the paper and the silhouettes are so perfect for a sympathy card!
"soft beauty" - yep. I love the contrast of the stark white with the aqua, broken up by that luscious bow. Have to remember this design.
