Happy Monday.
There has been several losses out there…I dread making sympathy cards. I always tend to go non-traditional:
paper: chickaniddy crafts/scrumptious stamps: reverse confetti/petals ‘n posies ink: stampin’ up white embossing other: reverse confetti square tag/heart to heart confetti cuts, cork
The card base is the denim patterned paper by Chickaniddy Crafts. I love the color green and think of it as a cheerful but not overbearing color.
I was inspired by

Such a pretty card Amy! I agree sympathy cards are not my favorite either, but you sure did a wonderful job on this one!
Sympathy cards are always difficult for me, too. I find it's easier to make them when I don't need one. This 'non-traditional' card is wonderful. Thanks for sharing with us at FMS this week!
Beautiful!
great and fabulous card!
I agree…I don't anyone likes making sympathy cards…truly, the hardest. Yours is sooo very sweet!
I agree…sympathy cards are tough to make. You did a wonderful job with this one—-so sweet!
A beautiful sympathy card!

Oh I think we all can agree that Sympathy cards are never easy to make, Amy. I have a couple of stamps (old Stampin' Up set) that are my go-to for these cards. You created a lovey one here, and I am sure your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.
This is a beautiful card, the colors u picked are just right for the sympathy card and heart is a fab touch 🙂
Such a pretty, non-traditional sympathy card. I'm sure it'll bring a smile to whoever receives this card <3
soooo adorable!!!
Beautiful sympathy card, Amy!
Amy I love the soft tones for your sympathy card, beautiful!
I think it's perfect- it's nice to see something different ! x
sympathy cards are seriously the toughest cards to make, I think. But you did a great job on this! I love the colors, and the hanging tag is perfect. It's classic and elegant, but stands out from the crowd, too!
Good job with your sympathy card, Amy, I don't enjoy making them either.
Now that you say it, I concur … green is a good, non-emotional color for a sympathy card. Good call!
What fun Reverse Confetti Dies. Love how you used all the elements Amy.
Sorry for the loss, but I love the non-traditional, haven't done much of that for sympathy cards..
I agree with you regarding sympathy cards – hard to make on so many levels – yet you've created a lovely one here. Non-traditional yes, but still conveying the essence of gentleness and thoughtfulness that such cards call for. I think this is heart-warming!
