Thinking of You Sympathy Card

Click on image to enlarge.

I always struggle when it comes to making sympathy cards. Yesterday I tried a new design that I am very pleased with.

The base of this card is a blank light blue Recollections (from Michaels) card. It measures 5" by 6.5".

I chose the new digital stamp "Pussywillows" from Mo's Digital Pencil. The "Thinking of you" sentiment comes with the image. I love the simple beauty and elegance of this image. It is perfect for a sympathy card.

I used Canva to merge the sentiment and image. I printed the image on white cardstock with my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink.

I hand-colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and Winsor & Newton Promarkers/Brush makers. I have a large collection of alcohol markers and like to mix and match them.

I cut/embossed the image with a rectangular die and my die cutting machine. I attached a piece of black cardstock to the back to make it stand out from the background.

I chose a piece of cardstock from the Tim Holtz Wallflower Paper Stash for the background.

Love Endures Sympathy Card

Click on the image to enlarge.

I made this sympathy card for a friend who lost a beloved family member.
I truly believe that love never dies...it endures forever.

This is how I made the card;
I started with a blank kraft cardstock card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The background paper is from the Tim Holtz Wallflower Paper Stash.

I used the digital stamp "Flower Jar" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers and Promarkers. I cut it out and chomped the corners with a Crop-a-Dile Corner Chomper (Clearance item from Hobby Lobby). I used a Spellbinders die to cut the black frame and used double-sided tape to attach the image to the frame.
I chose the sentiment "Love Endures" from the Digital Phrase Collage Sheet #9
from Lisa's Altered Art on Etsy. I die cut the black frame and attached the sentiment to the frame with glue dots.

I finished the card by tying a piece of twine around the card and making a bow.
