Hi friends,

Sympathy cards are always difficult and it helps to have a few on hand when the need arises instead of trying to create them in the moment. I like to keep them simple and heartfelt.

The rose stamp is from the Prefer to Smile stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. Unfortunately the set is no longer available. Any simple flower stamp in your collection would work great on this layout.

I stamped the rose with Memento Tuxedo Blank ink and colored it with Copic markers. Using the Nestabilities Labels 8 Etched Dies, I die cut around the image and layered it to green card stock die cut with the same die set.

I added a piece of patterned paper to a white card and attached the stamped piece with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment with green ink on white card stock and die cut around it used these Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies. The piece is attached to the card with foam tape. My sentiment is discontinued, use any heartfelt sentiment stamp in your collection.

This is a very simple and quick to make card. The layout would also work great for other cards – birthday, thinking of you, or just a note. Simply change the sentiment. You could also make a few cards without a sentiment to keep in your stash. Then as the need arises for a card, add an appropriate sentiment and you are good to go.
