I always have a difficult time making sympathy cards. You work so hard to make it perfect, but there is always something I have doubts about. Well, I, unfortunately, need to a couple of sympathy cards this week. So, not only did I have a deadline to meet, I had a purpose for the card as well. I know that there is nothing special or extravagant about this card, it is a basic/simple card. But I felt this was appropriate for the situation. I also needed to make one for a teenage boy, who lost his mother. This started a new challenge, since I tend to add flowers and other "girly" stuff to sympathy cards. So here is another card I made:

Jessica- I love your take on the challenge- your card is lovely! I really like how you used the doily stamp just on the tag's edges. That lace ribbon is wonderful too. And what a great job you did on the other card. I am so sorry you *needed* to make these cards; especially for a teenage boy losing his mom. But this card is perfect and I am sure will mean a lot to him and his family. (((Hugs)))!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you actually needed these cards. They are absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeletelove that you were inspired to create two wonderful cards nicely done.
ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are very pretty. I love the lace you used on the girly one. The other is perfect to give to a young man. Prayers for those who are involved.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cards! Love the colors from the photo. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely cards - both of them!
ReplyDeleteSad to know you had to use 2 sympathy cards. You did a great job. I love the blue & white. I thought the inspiration photo was wonderful!
