Less Is More....


You know the most difficult of cards I find to make is a Sympathy one. I just never think a card says the feelings that you have to put across.  I also hate doing them as it means someone has left us. :( 
I have followed the Challenge at Less Is More this week with 3 Shades of Green for this one.  
The inside is blank to write a wee thinking of you note.

Kirsten Alicia said...

I agree completely, but you have created a beautiful card; it is very elegant in its simplicity & that makes it even more appropriate for such a sad occasion.

None of us likes to make sympathy cards for exactly the reason you mention but, sooner or later, all of us cardmakers have to tackle the topic and your card strikes just the right balance, it's lovely

Happy Easter
