I’ve recently had two occasions to send sympathy cards. One to a friends whose mother passed away, and another to Sarah’s mother-in-law who lost her father last week. Both of the deceased were in their 90’s, and both were ready to go. Nonetheless, it is always hard to be the ones left behind. I know that they have many happy memories to help ease the loss.
I actually created this card for one of the challenges in an online class, “Stretch Your Stamps.” I’ve only seen one or two days worth of the wonderful videos in this class, so I’ll be working on it again in the fall. The stamp is one of my Hero Arts cling stamps that doesn’t get enough use.
Once again Lovely Layers came to the rescue. This stamp set seems destined for a record number of uses. It looks so different depending on the colors you use. I also used my new PTI Impression Plate, “Stripes,” which will also see a lot of use. Both cards used a sentiment from Botanical Silhouettes (PTI).
These are so perfect for the occasion Karen and I have that Hero Arts stamp so the card will go into my inspiration folder. I have been remiss and not commented on your previous cards which I have loved, particularly the chevron one.
The photos of the border crossing were great too. I guess to an island nation it looks very exotic – our state crossings are very underwhelming.
They are both lovely and comforting – I especially like the first one.

The cards are both really lovely and I also like the textural feel to them even though they are generally monochromatic.
Perfect cards for a sad occasion.
So pretty, Karen. You are such a dear one.
These are lovely. I really need to make a couple of cards today & have not found the inspiration, but seeing your cards has me thinking it’s time to get in my craft room!
These are both just perfect – I especially like the top one with those cleverly placed groups of little pearly beads …
Beautiful & elegant sympathy cards, Karen. Wow, that stripes impression plate is really striking.
Perfectly, elegantly understated and right for the occasion.
