Morning. My creation today is a sympathy card. A friend of ours from my husbands previous job passed away this weekend. I can only imagine what Holly and the kids are going through right now. It is very sad news to hear. Sympathy cards are always hard to make I think. This one is simple and soothing and sent with prayers.
I stamped the flower from Soothing Sympathy onto white card stock. Then took a watercolor brush and washed over the image after I stamped it to add a softer touch to the ink. Layered a few colors of gray and soft sea foam colored card stock. Wrapped some sheer ribbon around the base and added a few pearls. Voila. Thanks for stopping by today.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Beautiful card, so soft and elegant. The pearls finish this off nicely.
I'm so sorry you had a reason to make this lovely card, Stacy. It sounds as though your friend's passing was too young in life and completely unexpected. I like your idea for brushing over the ink to soften it. I'll keep that in mind. It's a beautiful effect.
Oh, Stacy, I'm so sorry about your friend and his wife and kids. What a deep loss, and I'm sure Holly loved this card and loved the note your wrote to her. It's such a beautiful and serene card, and it's a perfect card. Hugs and love! xoxo
