With all the types of cards we make, there is one that we always hope won't be needed. You know which type that is: the sympathy card. For some reason when I saw this sketch, that's the only style of card which came to mind. I don't really enjoy making them. I always begin that downward spiral of thinking. You know, all about mortality and loss and begin to get into a bit of a blue funk. It's probably a good thing that I don't wait for one of these cards to be needed. Having a few on hand makes it easier when the time comes.
Now that I've depressed myself and everyone else, lets get to the card. I kept all my colours rather monochromatic. I used Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand, Basic Grey and Basic Black. The Designer Series Paper which I used to stamp the "So Sorry" on is from the wonderful Timeless Elegance collection. I even chose the black sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment and some of the Linen thread which is so close in colour to the Sahara Sand.
I like the way all the products work together in my card. It's elegant and lovely but I hope I won't have to use it anytime soon.
