Hello Again from Craft
Chicks Australia!
Today’s post is of a
Sympathy Card made by Little Chick.
I love creating cards,
but it is difficult to enjoy making cards for the loss of a loved one (and,
unfortunately, I have been making far too many of them of late). Even finding inspiration for a design can be
difficult ... Thank Goodness for Pinterest!
Unfortunately Sympathy Cards are a necessity of life. I really need to get organised and create
some to have on hand for those occasions when one is required ... I think that would
be much easier than having to create one as needed.
Again, the card was
inspired by many a Pin on Pinterest ... Thank You to all those Pinners out
there! I was inspired to use a
White-On-White theme after looking through my favourite card “pins”.
It was created in
Silhouette Studio Designer Software and used several files available from the
Silhouette Store ... Butterfly by Silhouette and Butterfly Garden Confetti by
Sophie Gallo. The Print & Cut
feature was used to create the sentiment, “With Heartfelt Sympathy”, and the
font used is named Great Vibes. After
all the elements were resized, the sentiment was printed and all parts were cut
on the Silhouette Cameo. The background
was dry-embossed using a Sizzix BigShot and the Couture Creations Petite Fleur
embossing folder. Some of the flowers
and butterflies were dry-embossed with a swirly embossing folder made by
Sizzix, and some were left plain. The
card was then assembled and “blinged” by adding white pearls as the centre of
the flowers and on the back of the butterflies.
I really hope that this
card brought the recipient some comfort at a very sad time.
On a brighter note, the
weather here is glorious at the moment ... you would never know that dreaded
Winter could strike at any moment!
Bye for now,
Little Chick & Big
Chick :-)
