The card that no one wants to make

Mostly I make cards for happy occasions but there are times when we need to send our love to those who are coping with loss.

Flowers often manage to say what words can't and this lovely Mama Elephant image seemed a good choice for an unfussy card.





I stamped the image in Versamark ink and heat embossed it in white. I used watercolour pens to colour the image in a pale peachy-pink and added a sentiment onto a small  die cut panel before adhering the image onto a fog card base.

These cards are never easy to make but having a simple, pretty stamp is a huge help.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is so pretty and the pretty pastels make it so soft looking. I struggle with making sympathy cards and usually end up buying them. Yours is a classy, elegant card.
