Sympathy cards

I recently needed to make sympathy cards for some friends of ours (a brother & sister and their families) and their mother. I decided I wanted to CASE this card by Melissa – minus the “bling”.  I thought it was soft, simple and sweet. I pulled the wrong “small flower” out of the case – but I’m the only one who will know that.  (well, now y’all do, too)

I didn’t want to make them all the same color, so I chose to make them each different – purple, blue and pink.  Since I used a darker color as the base, I lined the inside of the card with the light color mat. And to tone down the pop of the white mat, I used Old Paper Distress Ink to age the edges.

They’re going in the mail today. 

Hopefully I’ll be able to get to my Card Camp card today.  I had an idea while I was hanging beach towels on the line yesterday - now let’s see if I can translate it to paper!

Thanks for stopping by!

The cardstock is from my ancient stash. I know the dark purple is Bazzil, but nothing else is. It’s either from Creative Memories or Hobby Lobby.
