Easy, Elegant Sympathy Cards

Hello my friends.  :-)  Today I am sharing a set of four sympathy cards, made specially for a local veterinarian to give to her clients who've lost a fur-baby.  A friend of mine works at the clinic, and thought perhaps her boss might want to purchase these.  Keeping my fingers crossed that the doctor likes them.

I used gray card bases for all four, and lined the interior of each with a lighter-weight white cardstock (like Epson Presentation Paper, found at Staples).

These serene die cuts are from K & Co.  The pack contains many other designs, some too large to fit on an A2-size card and probably better suited for a scrapbook layout.

I added dimensional touches such as thread or twine, pearls, a button and sentiments on tags.

I also created a seed head effect with yellow Liquid Pearls, on the card below.

Hope these designs have inspired you to break out some die cuts and start embellishing!
