Simple Sympathy

I have the other two cards I made for my Mum to show you today...a couple of simple  sympathy cards using a new sentiment stamp (by Anita's) I received for Christmas. On the first one I used the watercolour technique with my 'Agapanthus Clusters' stamp (by Stampendous) and some Distress Inks ('Faded Jeans' & 'Forest Moss'). I blended a little 'Bundled Sage' and 'Stormy Sky' over the top at the base of the card before stamping the sentiment.


On the second card, I used butterfly stamps from the 'Social Butterfly' set by Penny Black and more Distress Inks ('Shaded Lilac' and 'Dusty Concord'), stamping on to linen textured card. This time I masked off the flower image from the sentiment stamp and distressed the edges a little.

    These are very elegant and lovely Helen, just right for sympathy cards.

    Happy New Year when it comes.

    Both are beautiful in their sheer simplicity Helen.

    I love butterflies but when I see Stampendous P107 there is no competition as it's my all time favourite stamp - I even have a second one 'just in case' - how sad is that.

    Thanks so much for joining in at Stamping Sensations and here's to a Happy, Healthy and Crafty 2014.

    I think sympathy cards can be hard to design but your 2 cards are both so elegant and with just the perfect touch of pretty colour.
