Hello everyone! For those of you who follow me, you know that I am continually making things to stock my card basket at the local art gallery. These sympathy cards are heading there. Both versions are similar, with just minor differences on each:
A 'Colleen Bow' here on one of the cards...
I used Everyday Sayings / Hero Arts for both versions, beautiful K & Co. die cuts, and some gorgeous snippets of retired Stampin' Up! papers.
I really like certain colors for sympathy cards. Blues and greens are good ones, I think. They are cool and serene. What colors do you tend to use for these cards?
Stamps: Everyday Sayings - Hero Arts Paper: Soft Sky, Certainly Celery, damasks, stripe - SU Ink: Versafine Onyx Black - Tsukineko Fibers: white seam binding - Hug Snug Accessories & Tools: doilies - Wilton; White Opal Liquid Pearls - Ranger; floral die cuts - K & Co.
Colleen, both cards are SO beautiful! Colours are so soothing. I love those die cuts! Need to get some.. :)
ReplyDeleteSoothing colors ,perfect for such cards ! Loved both of them !
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful designs with those amazing die cuts and pretty papers (which I still have quite a lot of and love it). I like anything soft and soothing for a sympathy card and do also tend to use a lot of blues and greens.
ReplyDeletePerfect soothing colours and two lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, Colleen...the cards are BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Colleen...I love them both!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful ... loving the pearls and the flowers!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! So soft and pretty with the flowers and pearls!
ReplyDeleteI agree that pastel and soothing colors are the best for sympathy cards. Yours are always well done and appropriate. Quite frankly, I have often seen sympathy cards that I did not feel were appropriate at all.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous in those wonderful colors. Those K&CO die cuts are so beautiful. I have used black and white, green and white, who knows? I can't even remember.
ReplyDeleteLove them both Colleen! The flowers are so very pretty and both cards are peaceful. they're sure to sell FAST!
ReplyDeleteYour usual style of beautiful! The added pearls are a great touch too~
ReplyDeleteBlues and greens and doilies and Pretty flowers are Wonderful for sympathy cards. THX for the Colleen bow tutorial! I may have to try that one!!!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your 'Colleen' bows. Blue is a good color for sympathy cards. Love the pearls around the doily.
ReplyDeleteThese should sell well at the gallery, Colleen. It is hard to find such beautiful sympathy cards!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Colleen! Perfect for a sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteSo soft, luxurious, and full of elegance, Col! Simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous "Colleen" card! Love these colors!
ReplyDeleteSympathy Flowers & Gifts. During a time when words won't suffice, a simple bouquet of sympathy flowers can lift a loved one's spirits a happy customer who ordered a flower delivery in Fiona Stanley Hospital.
