With deepest sympathy

I find sympathy cards the hardest cards of all to make. I don't have any religious faith, so that rules out  a whole host of traditional designs, and I don't like to tempt fate by making them routinely and keeping some in stock, so they often have to be made very quickly in response to circumstances. You can't leave a grieving relative to wait while you create a complex and beautiful card!

So for me, sympathy cards lend themselves very readily to the Clean And Simple style of cardmaking. It's often very quick, and can create a stylish simplicity that seems very appropriate at a time of sadness.

Unfortunately we have just had a family bereavement, and this is the card I have made to send:


This week it's a CAS week at Addicted  to Stamps and More so I'm joining in with this card.

    Totally agree with you, the hardest cards to make, especially when you're emotionally involved. The simplicity is the best. Somber and elegant, just like the card you made
