I have made a sympathy card for a very dear friend who has suffered the loss of her father and step-mother within 48 hours this week. So I thought the sunny colours would help to brighten her day (slightly) and I kept it clean and simple.
Here is the colour inspiration:
And here's my take:
Very simply, I have used a cuttlebug folder on some white core'dinations and edged with Versamagic Thatched Straw and Distress inks Dried Marigold and Spiced Marmalade.
Using Nestabilities Blossoms dies , cut some flowers in terracotta and orange coloured bazzill and a more golden glitter effect card, distressed them with my scissors and layered together with a metal brad.
The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Frame it set stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa, and edged in the same inks. Finished off with some gems and layered onto a kraft card base.
Thanks for stopping by

Lovely Sympathy card, beautiful blossom! I'm sure your friend will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
So pretty Pauline! The blossom looks wonderful on top of the embossed background! Surely this will bring comfort to your friend :)
Pauline, I LOVE this card! LOVE all the distressing and your flower is GORGEOUS! LOVE the metal brad. How tragic but your card will let your friend know how much you care!
A CAS card but it looks "warm" and thoughtful. I think your friend will love this card and get some comfort out of this beauty.
It's good to be here again; I have to catch up on your previous posts. I'll be back soon :)

So sorry for your friend--sympathy cards are the hardest for me to make! But this one is def. gorgeous and will be cherished forever:) Thanks for playing along with us over at the PDCC:}
My heart really goes out to your friend. How very tragic, and I just can't imagine. I do not like having to make sympathy cards, but a necessity sometimes. this is a great one, and will bring comfort in that her friend made this for her in a terrible time in her life.
so beautiful Pauline!
hugs
