I have a Sympathy card to show today using gorgeous stamps by Designs by Ryn. Unfortunately there are times when we need cards for sad occasions. The beautiful & touching quote is from Impression Obsession - C3677 'When Someone'.
The background was created with blue Dylusions inks that were 'mopped up' from another project. I also blended Dusty Concord Distress ink with the TCW Mini Ringlet stencil. The Leafy Branch, the raindrops from the awesome Raindrops set (set of 4 stamps) & quote were stamped with black Stazon ink. I added a little watercolour to the raindrops & highlighted the leaves & drops with a white Pigment pen.
Thanks for your visit & have a great day!

Oh, oh, made the same mistake twice!!!
Oops, I typed something wrong and it became a word that I would never say!!!
Shirley, a beautiful card in great colours.
Love the purple in your background, it brings some depth in it.
The big coloured drops are gorgeous and the highlighting of the leaves makes this card complete, evenso does the beautiful sentiment.
Great artwork.

Such a nice quote! Love the colors of your card, great background too. The white highlights make such a difference. Beautiful card Shirley!
The stencil effect is great Shirley and the sentiment so very touching. And the white highlighting in the leaves really makes the pop from the card.

Hey Shirley, you pick the loveliest quotes. I find this one to be very touching. Beautiful highlighting job on Leafy Branch. I like how you outlined some leaves with white and colored others in completely. Raindrops Set makes an appropriate addition to the theme as well. Beautiful card :)
Wonderful design and brilliant colors, that is again a really inspiring card.
Hugs Anja

Wow, a wonderful postcard, Shirley
Very stylish Shirley...toi toi, Alie
What a beautiful card, a lovely one to send on those occasions. The sentiment is one that is going onto my wish list. It says so much more than the normal " With Sympathy".

Auch hier bilden die Tropfen einen Blickfang, dazu die schöne Blattumrahmung, das ist toll und sieht aus, als würde man durch die Blattranken hindurchsehen.
Shirly this is breathtaking work. Love the colors and the combination. Great creation.

If you have to sent a card for that reason, than a card like this one! The sentiment and the combination of stamps and inks are beautiful! Warm greetings, Gerrina
This is the ultimate sympathy card, Shirley. That sentiment is my favorite!!
I very mystical, lovely, soulful creation, Shirley. Yes, it is sad to make sympathy cards. I am always grateful that my fingers can create on those days, as it is like saying a prayer with my hands. Truly beautiful, Shirley, and very peaceful. hugs, de
Lovely sentiment. Great depth to your stamping! That's a fab leaf stamp, I will be using it a lot.
p.s. what white pen do you use? Thanks.
Wonderful use of the stamps and the colours

The combination of colours with the whitework on those leaves is so apt & your white matting just adds a lovely foiled for the pen work too. The sentiment is so thoughtful & I'm totally intrigued by your clever use of 'mopping up scraps' for backgrounds.
Have a super weekend.

Beautiful card Shirley with a great text
Love the stamps and colors you used.
Greetings Janny
Shirley, this card is beautiful, in one of my most favourite colours. As you say it is sad to make sympathy cards, but this one has such a feeling of tranquility and thoughtfulness. The quote is lovely and the water drops as tears seem so appropriate. As Paula said the matting colours set the design off perfectly. I will look out for that quote stamp. Elaine x

Großartig, Shirley,
eine tolle Inspiration für mich.
Trauerkarten mache ich nicht so gerne, weil mir da oft die Idee fehlt.
Deine Karte ist wunderschön.
Liebe Grüße und Umarmung
