I don't know about you... But, for me Sympathy cards are THE hardest ones to do....
What do you say, to a person who lost a loved one? And how do you comfort someone, especially if life was taken tragically???
I really don't know....
This card is for a young widow of my husbands co-worker. Tomorrow we will be going for a fundraiser for the young woman and her 2 children.
I only hope, she will find peace in time, and strenght to raise her young children.
here is what I came up with:
Why birds, you ask?
I don't know... maybe because I associate families with birds-they meet, they build a nest, raise family....
And now that nest is empty....
Prima paper
Tim Holtz stamp
"nest"- Crafty Secrets stamp
and these ranger ink pads were used to color background with the birds:
-wild honey-
-dusty concord-
-milled lavander-
-tumbled glass-
-broken china-
