Sympathy cards are never easy to make especially when you need to make one. Typically sympathy cards are made more feminine than masculine. The card I made today is actually for two young men who lost their father to cancer. I chose to use a more subdued palette for this reason making the card more masculine. I am in love with my new Hero Arts Leafy Vines cling stamp. Perfect for full card coverage.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Come back at noon EST for this week's Dynamic Duos post!
