One of my Splitcoaststamper friends recently lost her mother, and I wanted to send her a sympathy card in the hope of bringing her comfort, knowing that her friends are thinking about her and sending lots of prayers.
I had a challenge I needed to complete that required a clean and simple style card, using only a small percentage of the front card surface. Now, this is really a challenge for me since clean and simple is definitely not my style, though I often like cards others have done that have this style. I would certainly agree that this style lends itself well to sympathy cards; therefore, I thought I'd give it a go.
I'm actually pretty happy with my finished card, and I hope my friend will find it brings that comfort and peace I'm hoping for her. I do have to admit, I just had to add a very petite mat layer border provided by the card base and in a color pulled from the ink-blended, masked circle behind the bird. Take a peek at the finished card below, both inside and out:
