Sympathy cards are one of those types of cards that one needs to just have on hand. Sadly, I’ve lost a friend recently, and it’s very hard to sit and create during sorrow. Here is one example of a good card to have on hand for times of grief. Today’s share is a stepped-up version of another card I shared previously, this one with a lot more detail:
I’ve used a few colours here, but the main ones are Mango Melody for the dress, Pool Party for the sky and water, and Gorgeous Grape for the flowers. I used Old Olive for the greenery and Crumb Cake for the mountain, but of course, all these can be changed to suit.
I also added some Frost White Shimmer Paint to the water for a bit more interest to an otherwise flat card. I love the shimmer paints so much!
I stamped and watercolored on our Watercolor Paper. Add the Shimmer Paint and let dry thoroughly. Then I ran the entire piece through a die cutter with the Subtle Embossing Folder. Rotate the stamped image 90 degrees and run it through again for this WONDERFUL canvas look!!
Everyone needs this folder . . . .
When I was making up a few of these, I took a little shot of one before I embossed and one after. What do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by! Remember you will receive 12 Tutorials featuring the Peaceful Poppies Suite when you place an order with me of $50 NZD or more during February!

I am so sorry that you lost a friend and are grieving.
You did make a beautiful card that perfectly expresses your feelings of loss though.
