Sympathy cards are uncomfortable to make, especially at the last minute, and I find it easier to have a few on hand. I took this chance to make several of this very clean and simple card for my stash.
OLW48 Rules
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single layer of cardstock folded in half. No other layers allowed.
2. Make a sympathy card that uses an image other than trees or flowers. Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.
3. Upload your card online and link back to it using the InLinkz button on the sidebar of Simplicity.
4. The most important rule of all: HAVE FUN!
Supplies
stamps: Papertrey Ink
ink: Memento Black
paper: PTI white
accessories: SU Markers
This card is quite lovely, and I really like the sentiment .
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely - the colours are perfect and the sentiment is super!
ReplyDeleteThis will be a challenge as you naturally reach for the floral stamps for this theme.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card and such a lovely sentiment.

Hello Susan, Oh! yes every stamp I thought of was flowers:0)
ReplyDeleteI love your card, so simple and very effective. Sympathy cards are difficult to get right, you've managed beautifully.
Great challenge again, thanks :0) xxx
No flowers? Aw, Geesh! I'm not sure I can do this! LOL! Not tonight anyway. I'll definitely have to browse all my stamps to see what I have that's suitable! Tough one, Susan!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card. The sentiment and quilt block are so straight-forward and refreshing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Susan! Thanks for another lovely challenge! I´ve added mine!

What a card - what an image to use for a sympathy card...I never would have thought of that....I would have gone for a leaf spray, a flower (especially PTI's LIly of the Valley) but why on earth not use this neutral image? Indeed - thanks for the idea...I have that stamp set and to be honest I have hardly used it.
ReplyDeletePerfect sympathy card. I'll look forward to playing along when I get time later this week.
ReplyDeleteNo flowers, no trees -- that is a challenge. But then your card makes it look so obvious! It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCould you make it any harder? LOL! This will be a challenge! Your card is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great challenge and got me working on replenishing a sadly depleted stash. Your sample, as usual, is just lovely as are all the entries so far. Thanks!
