Sadly a Sympathy Card

Sympathy cards are probably the hardest to create, because it is not something that we want to make.  A long time friend's spouse recently passed away and I am not able to attend the services.  I remembered creating a background with a Sparkle and Sprinkle stamp way back when I was on their design team, so I got the stamp out and made this card.
 

First stamp the image on gray CS six times with Versamark and emboss with Black Detail embossing powder.  Stamp them one at a time to make it easier to line them up.  Punch the edge with punch.  Layer onto black card base.  Die cut the bird two times, once in black and once in white.  Use Dimensional Glue over detail cut lines and apply Sparkling Snow glitter.  Pop the bird onto front.  Stamp the sentiment and emboss with Black Detail embossing powder.  Cut into a rectangle; layer onto black rectangle.

Inside

The inside only has the same punch along the edge and the sentiment stamped.  I really like this sentiment from Stampin Up.

Sympathy

Another card was needed for a different family member and I did not want to send the same card.  I punched the edge of the white card base, punched a piece of black CS and layered them. A piece of pattern paper was added to the top. Used the same bird die as above and a different SU sentiment.

Really hoping that you do not need a sympathy card but if you do, perhaps one of these will help.


Thank you for stopping by.
