Hello and welcome. My husband recently lost his aunt to pancreatic cancer and we needed sympathy cards to sent to his aunt's daughters. Of course, sympathy cards are not readily on hand because I find it difficult to make them for some reason. However, I found the perfect image at
Jan's Digital Stamps called
Southern Bouquet. Since I was pressed for time, I decided to use one of the pre-colored images that come with the digital set then added the saying using a watermark program. I started out by printing the image onto
Hammermill white card stock before layering and added brushed gold brads then adhered it to a summer sun card. I wanted to keep the card layout clean and simple but needed something under the image. I decided a small flourish would be the perfect addition so I went and dug out an old
Stampin Up set called
Hand Painted Petites and stamped one of the small flourishes in the set in
memento tuxedo black to finish it off.

It is a perfect card for such a sad occasion. I like all Jan's Digital designs and I always purchase the pre-coloured ones as I know I couldn't colour them any better myself. Thank you for sharing with us.
