I chose to work up a sympathy card this time as a coworker's sister passed away unexpectedly this past weekend. So very heartbreaking. I hadn't intended the card to come out so brightly colored, even with a pale gray wash, but then I realized that it may be just what she needs right now--a spot of color and an inspirational message. I am so very glad that we create things that bring a bit of sunshine into another's life, aren't you?

Toni, this is a great card, love the image placed in the center and colored so beautifully. Never thought of this sentiment as a sympathy expression, but more as an encouragement. I think it is really appropriate for the case, black background balances it well. People need support and love in such situations, and this card gives both. - Sweet Kobylkin
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and uplifting card, Toni!
ReplyDeleteIt's always hard to create sympathy cards and yours is spot on. I love the use of colour against the black background. It looks more like a piece of art than a card!
