With Sympathy
>> Tuesday, August 2, 2022
Hi Everyone,
Sadly, I was in need of a sympathy card and didn't have one on hand. I have a simple, go to card design, but I've used it so many times, that I have no idea who I've sent it to in the past. I chose another easy to replicate design in a neutral color, but I feel like the browns may have been a bit drab. More depressing, than soothing. I'll choose a soft green or blue next time for my monochromatic sympathy card.
The background was stamped using the Silhouette Branch and the sentiment is With Sympathy
I mounted the greeting on some black cardstock and used a border punch and a row of gems to add some interest. I also added some matching twine before I attached the greeting to the card.
Not wanting to be stuck without a sympathy card for next time, I took inspiration from Lisa's beautiful card here, and made one for my stash. It's not as pretty as hers, but the recipient won't know that!
Here are the stamps I used for this:

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

I am so sorry you needed a sympathy card. They can be very hard to make when we need them. I am so thrilled you took inspiration from my card for a second card to add to your stash. I love your version too. I need to get that background splash so I can use it on some cards.
Both cards are beautifully done. I might need to make one inspired by your first card as it really turned out great!
Karin, these are simply beautiful cards. Wow. I love the look of each of them - simple, elegant and conforting.
So sorry you needed them!
Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh what beautiful and clean looking sympathy cards! I love the white with a simple stamp design, really elegant!
They're both lovely sympathy cards, Karin and I'm sure your recipient appreciated your efforts.
I love that sentiment for a sympathy card. It's sends the perfect message. <3
