Sympathy Card

  Hello crafting friends and welcome.  I will be sharing a DT project for Fairy Stamper with you every Friday, so I hope you enjoy my card today and will come back to visit.


I'm sad that I had to make this card. It's for a very dear friend who lost her 90 year old mom. I always find it difficult to make these cards, which is probably the reason I don't keep any in my stash. The only thing that keeps me going when I'm feeling this sad is the thought that my card may just bring a very small measure of comfort to recipient knowing that I'm thinking about them during this difficult time and that I'm keeping them in my prayers.

Okay, so before I make everyone sad, let me share my card.


I stamped the image onto a 5" x 5" square piece of water colour card stock.

Next I shaded in the sky, using a cloud stencil, and Summer Sky ink. I wanted a little bank on the left side of the card, so I drew one freehand and stamped the two Herons.  I coloured in the image using my Derwent wastercolour pencils. Lastly, I added some of the beautiful fine glitter to the water.
  On the inside of the card, I stamped a little part of the image to add a little interest, and finished it off by stamping the sentiment.

Here is my list of supplies, each linked to the  Fairy Stamper store.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will join us on our Fairy Stamper Facebook group and show us all your beautiful projects.

Till next time,

    It’s beautiful, Lena. You’re right, they are hard to make. And even more so once they’re needed, that’s why I try to have some on hand, just in case...

    Oh I am so sorry about your friend's Mom. I have specifically made a few sympathy cards to keep in my stash, because they are so difficult to make when the occasion arises. This is beautiful Lena. I never would have known you'd added in the extra grassy patch. It's perfect, and exactly what the scene needed.
