During the week I found out from my Sister that my Dad's neighbour had passed away, having had health problems for as long as I have known him. So last night I came home from the NEC...and then a Firework Party and made a quick card for his wife to let her know we are thinking of her. Having only ever made one other Sympathy card....I was a little nervous. I think keeping the colours soft and serene and the card relatively simple is the way to go....so here is what I made...
What do you think?
So now that I am up, I have got to get a wriggle on as we are off to have dinner with the family down in Surrey today. I will be back again later this morning with my Anyone for Anya? card.
I had a fab day at the NEC, for me the best part was meeting up with my Blogging Buds and having a 2 hour lunch....I know 2 hours when there is stash to buy is a miracle, but it was a blast. I will be back with more details and pics later too.
What do you think?
Hi Caz
ReplyDeleteI think your sympathy card is lovely, they are always difficult ones to make, but you got the colours and content just right. I saw you on the magnolia stand at the NEC yesterday, rummaging through the big box of mini magnolias!!! I was going to say hello as I recognised you from your blog picture, but you were busy chatting !! It was either a pity or a good thing that Magnolia wouldn't take credit cards as payment as I could have gone really mad yesterday LOL I had a great day - my first one at the NEC - met up with a pal from PCP, and it sounds like you had a good time too :o) I think Annie (ink'n'rubba) will be coming round to see me and my new stash tomorrow :o)

This is a lovely card, very different to your usual style...I have never made a sympathy, I find them incrdibly difficult to make. You have done a wonderful job
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sympathy card, Caz. I think subtlety is the key and I love the muted colours. Glad you had fun at NEC!x :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card Caz - simple and elegant. Glad you had a fabby time with friends - chin up sweetie :) xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Caz *waves*
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you and Marlene (or Marlane lol if I spell it like that I remember how to say it)on Saturday. I was totally starstruck to be standing with some of the creme de la creme of the crafting /blogging world. Just wish i'd asked you all for your autographs lol.
