Altenew Painted Flowers Sympathy – by Sharon Johnson
It seems I have a never-ending need for sympathy cards. In fact, the card I made this afternoon and am sharing here now is way overdue. But cards, even late, are always appreciated. So as much as I do try to be timely, it often doesn’t happen. In any event, I enjoyed making today’s card, even though it was for a sad event. Take a look:
I hope the recipient gets some feeling of peace from this card.
Psalm 23 surely does convey a true peace during times of trouble.
And here’s the card inside – still plenty of room for me to write something personal.
This card is a favorite size of mine – 4.75 x 6.5″ – fitting perfectly into an A6 Clear Box.
I like the Clear Boxes both for protecting dimensional cards and for presentation purposes.
Here’s what I used on this card:
Stamps: Painted Flowers by Altenew
Deepest Sympathy by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps (inside and outside sentiments)
Paper: Cardstock
Ink: Altenew Cube Pack - 4 Scoops (sold out/more ink expected in about 10 days)
Kaisercraft old tiny cube for green leaves, Copic marker for skinny leaves & tiny buds
Memento Tuxedo Black (outline flowers)
VersaFine Onyx Black (sentiments)
Die: Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Rectangles
Ribbon: May Arts 5/8″ Faux Canvas – Salmon
Embellishments: Petaloo Botanica Minis – Coral
Adhesives: Scor Tape, 3D Foam Squares, Liquid Glue

Such a pretty card!
This card is beautiful enough to cheer up anyone for a while, especially for such a sad occasion. I LOVE your colors and the style. I know that I would have put the outside sentiment inside and the inside out. The way you did it gives the card so much more interest. TFS.
