Sympathy cards are always difficult.
Something I only make when there is sadly cause to.
The 11th of November marked the peaceful passing of my great aunt, the last of my grandma’s siblings and like her, she was quite the formidable woman. It truly is the end of an era for the generations left behind who knew and loved them both.
And some of that love went into the making of these cards.

I picked out the Sugarplums ink set from Altenew as the main colour palette to use with the Print Shop Floral Frame from The Greetery.
I used all four shades in this set, starting with Pale Mauve to stencil the base layer of the florals, then using Amethyst for the berry details, Grape Agate for the stamped details, and Plum for the flower centres.
Sage Leaf from Lawn Fawn with Altenew Evergreen ink was a perfect complement to those shades for the greenery.

Once the frame was complete, I used the masking stencil in the set to cover it up and added splatters of Amethyst ink.
I stamped the sentiment from the Sketched Flowers set inside and then cut out the panel to mount it on a purple card base.
Finally, I added Nuvo Grey Mist Jewel Drops for extra detail.
