This simple little card using Jar of Love was made for my favorite country cousins who had just lost a family member. Since they are far away, I wanted to make a special card that reflected their beautiful home in the country and maybe bring a little smile at this sad time.
Sympathy cards are never easy to do. Especially when you send to family members. I try to keep a few on hand to send out when I need. But when it is for someone special, I prefer to take a little time and customize a card that I hope will bring comfort and be special to them.
I said the other day it seems like I use Wood Textures on everything. I am beginning to think I do. My next card will be on Wood Texture too! But I have to say any of the Wood Textures is a fabulous neutral that adds a lot of interest to a card. And with so many wood tones to choose from, the possibilities are endless! I chose this paper because I thought it was very similar to the new Gray Granite color.
And because color is such an important part of a card, I am trying something new! I will try to include a “Color Story” for each card that will show the inks, paper, ribbon, etc. colors used in the card. If you click on the color name below each color mark, it will take you to a page on my Stampin’ Up! shopping website that will show you everything available in that color. Isn’t that cool? Enjoy and let me know how you like it!
