Unfortunately I didn't have any sympathy/thinking of you cards left in my basket at home and even worse is that I think I'm going to need one soon :( So I set out to make a suitable card and turned to the fabulous inspiration of
Teneale. I am always amazed at Teneale's creations - the depth and layering of stamping is beyond words. Not only that but she finishes the inside of her cards as beautifully as the front. For my card I was actually inspired by the inside of
this card. I kept the colours muted and not too dark. That may seem odd, but sometimes I think dark sympathy cards can be depressing in themselves.

ReplyDeleteHi Debby,
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty and stylish card! It's sad when we need cards like these and they should be elegant, but I totally agree with you that they shouldn't have to be depressive. The people who you send it to need some cheering up as well and the sight of beauty and elegance, like in this card, always make people smile. Very pretty card!
Hugs, Wendy
