This week at
it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying she wants to see those cards that are hard to make....like sympathy, sorry, etc. Great chance to add those cards to your stash so you don't have to make one when you actually need it.
This is what I did....
I went with a sympathy card. I always find it really sucks to have to make a sympathy card when you need it, so I always have a couple in my stash. I tend to keep my sympathy makes fairly muted and plain. Not that a sympathy card has to be. I've seen some lovely ones that are very colourful, but that's not something I find I can do with these types of cards. And, since they are almost always going in the mail, I tend to leave off embellishments too.
That flower layer is a digi stamp from Artherapie.
So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

That image is really perfect for your sympathy card! Good job.
ReplyDeletePerfect sympathy card, Jan! And I'm with you, I prefer muted colors on these type of cards.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Jan. I'm the opposite of you, though. Despite them being difficult to make, I do so when needed so I can specifically think of the recipient during the creation. Thanks for joining us at 613 Avenue Create. I hope we see you on the front porch again soon!

I agree, trying to make sympathy cards when you need them is really hard. I love the paper on this one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Jan. I tend to go fairly simple with colours on my sympathy creations too. Your background flowers are perfect for the job!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I like to have a couple stashed, because Iʻm like you and tend to use the same recipe on all of them I make.
ReplyDeleteThis sympathy card is beautiful. It is sad making them but always lovely to think of someone in their pain. So glad you played along with our challenge at Cupcake Inspirations! We hope you will play again soon. Have a beautiful day.
