Sympathy cards

are not the easiest cards to make & I was asked to make one for my Son-in-law for his very good friend who has just lost his Mum

This is what I came up with ....

I used paisley vellum as the background & stamped it with this lovely Paper Artsy stamp

of stylised flowers in a vase

modern but traditional too....

I stamped the sentiment straight onto the card in the same way as the flower vase image & finished using my pearl pen to make the gorgeous pearls on either side.

I hope it is modern but tastefully done. 

Sad time

An old friend rang me this week to tell me some really tragic news

She had rung me & told me last year that her hubby had died due to an unexpected heart attack - so sad .....

This phone all was to tell me that their daughter (only child) had been killed in a car accident .......

I can't believe it ....

Sam was only a few years older than my own children & had babysat for them, as well as her father & her being Cub leaders for my son & his friends

shaping their lives & the people they have become

So at this very sad time I have made a card & written one of the most difficult letters of my life ..............

details of the card .........

More Sympathy needed

Unfortunately another Sympathy card. My best friend's Dad died this week :-( A sad time .......... This is the card I made for the family.

Sympathy card

Today was a sad day as my SIL's mother died this morning in Australia, so I made a sympathy card to send over. The flower stands proud so I've also made a box to protect it on the way to Australia.



Onto the black matt I put a square of patterned vellum which I secured with vellum adhesive. I did the same for the sentiment. I cut out the cross freehand, mounted it with sticky fixers & added the flower & pearls to finish.
