I have a sympathy card to share for The Flower Challenge–Navy + One. In my case, it’s navy plus gray—a neutral (white) is also allowed.
Aside from the stamped image from Pinkfresh Studios, everything on the card was die cut.
And all of the die cuts come from The Greetery: Nordic Frames, Inside and Out Berry Branches, and Fit to be Tied.
I layered the Nordic Frames, cut in white, on one another, and then adhered to a dark navy card. The berries and leaves were die cut from the same navy cardstock and two colors of gray card stock, with some shading done with colored pencils.
It’s always a challenge to create a sympathy card. I’m averse to bright florals for sympathy cards, but don’t want the card to be too dark either. This seems to hit a good balance, and I can see using the design again.
This is so beautiful Karen! I love how you layered the card, such pretty edges and the die cut flowers and leaves look just beautiful too. Great colour combo too navy and grey, so classy. Thanks for sharing with us over at ‘The Flower Challenge’ 😉 Viv DT xx
I think it is perfect for the occasion – really elegant, and who wouldn’t be comforted by all the time and effort that has clearly been invested?
This is a wonderful balance! The gray is really the perfect touch with the dark blues – beautiful!
Your card provides a serene, soothing, caring touch for your friend. The stacked NF are so pretty together and the die cut flora remind me of a set of PFS dies that I have. Thank you for a lovely inspiration.
This card is quietly stating the caring & love.
So elegant, I love this design, the the die cuts used. Wonderful card. Thank you so much for joining us at The Flower Challenge and we hope to see you there again soon. Aileen DesignTeam
Beautiful card, the framing is perfect too with the navy peeking through, Cathy x
