With Sympathy

 I always like to have some sympathy cards in my stash, because they're not the kind of card I want to make when I need one. I used a similar layout to a card I made almost 6 years ago (you can see it HERE) which was a CASE of one I saw on Instagram by Jennie Lundin) . For this card, I made it in portrait instead of landscape, and I used stamps from Concord & 9th, and from Avery Elle and Taylored Expressions (two of which are now discontinued). 

Today, I'm playing along with the challenge at CAS on Friday challenge #332, where the theme is Sympathy.

AECP Level 3 - All about layering 5

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the AECP Level 3 class, All About Layering 5. I wanted to make a sympathy card, so I kept the colour scheme both minimal and muted.

Sympathy cards

 I recently needed some sympathy cards, so I dived into my UFO pile to find some backgrounds, and die cut some leaves to create these three cards.

Sympathy card for a music lover

 I was recently asked to make a sympathy card for a friend to send to a family member. She liked a sympathy card I made a few years ago (you can see that one HERE, which was a CASE of one I saw on Instagram by Jennie Lundin) but she wanted me to incorporate music into it somehow. 

I used quite a few discontinued stamps on this card, so I haven't included a links list at the bottom of this post.

I made this card a few months ago for a very dear friend. Sympathy cards are always the most difficult to make.

 The magnolia branches hot foil plate is such an elegant image, it works for so many different cards. I foiled it with muted matte metallic foil, and I thought it would suit a sympathy card.

One design, two cards

Sometimes, I make two backgrounds almost the same. In this case, I decided to make the same card twice, but I changed the sentiment. I decided that the more purple background suited a sympathy card, and the one with more red would be nice for a friendship card.

 

  And I made a video!

One layer sympathy cards

I recently went through my stash of cards, and decided that I needed sympathy cards, get well cards, and birthday cards, so you'll be seeing a few of these on this blog.

Sympathy/hugs cards

I always try to make sympathy cards when I don't need them, so that when I do need one, there's always one waiting for me. I ink blended in the top left corner, then stamped the inky bouquet stamp set from Altenew, and coloured the images with bleach. 

 

 I made the first card, and then decided to use a different colour, but make a get well soon card.
