Today I'm sharing two Sympathy cards I recently made. Although never fun to make when things are so sad, but they are so meaningful to those receiving them.
This one I made first after finding the 'Angels Are Near' die that a special friend had added to my stamp order. I was so saddened when I went to message her my thanks, to find her husband had passed just days before. What a way to lead me to know she needed a card full of love!
The second one, below, I created this past weekend for another dear friend who lost her support dog of over ten years. She too needed to know how much she is loved during this difficult time.
This image is from a google search for Cardinals. I do not know the manufacture for the words as it was gifted.
The flowers and cardinal are colored with Copic markers and the words are die cut out of red cardstock. Both cards have a 1/8" black liner before mounting on different pink patterned papers, and then on 4" x 6" card bases.
Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
