Good morning! Esther has a beautiful sympathy card to share with us today in a lovely fall theme. She used my absolute favorite sympathy stamp – Psalm 23 – as the focal image and surrounded it with richly colored sunflowers to form the frame. I love the subtle symbolism between the autumn season and the autumn of one’s life. And that Sunflower is our Flower of the Week at 15% OFF!

So beautiful and so comforting with the words from Psalm 23.

Psalm 23 is contained in Deepest Sympathy by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sunflowers are from Sunflower Season by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps – 15% OFF!

Did you notice the subtle text background stamping over the sunflowers, adding to the richness?

The text background is stamped with Scripty Background Mins SET 1 by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Esther stamped with VersaFine Clair inks and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens.

And here’s the “how-to” from Esther:

“To create my card I stamped the sunflower around the edges of a piece of watercolor paper to form a frame and colored them with my Arteza Real Brush Pens. I lightly stamped one of the text stamps from Scripty Backgrounds over top in Vintage Photo distress ink and also inked the edges with it. Both the dark brown mats were created by swiping Fallen Leaves ink along the edges of a piece of kraft card stock.”

Thanks so much Esther for this truly gorgeous autumn sympathy card – sure to bless the recipient.
