It seems like there’s never really a “good time” to send a sympathy card. KWIM?
I’ve mentioned before that I make and send cards to the faculty and staff of my son’s elementary school on behalf of the PTA Executive Board. Today I had to mail a card to a teacher whose mother recently passed away.
For some reason, I often use purple when I make a sympathy card. It seems soothing to me, I guess. Today I decided to use one of my Hero Arts floral stamps that hasn’t seen ink in a long time. I spritzed the stamp with water from a spray bottle after I inked it. It’s probably hard to see, but the card base is stamped with the Stampin’ Up! Linen background stamp. I reached back into the Splitcoaststampers Challenge archives and used Sketch Challenge #50 for the layout.
The details:
Stamps: A Real Candytuft (Hero Arts); Linen background and Always In My Thoughts (Stampin’ Up!)
Cardstock: Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac, Whisper White, Almost Amethyst Prints designer paper (Stampin’ Up!)
Ink: Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac (Stampin’ Up!)
Other: Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac, Barely Banana, and Garden Green markers (Stampin’ Up!); spray bottle of water

A simple card that says so much. Lovely.
Such a very sweet card, PH.
