Hello! Some of you might remember that this year I had committed to making at least one sympathy card per month, in order to build up a stash. I think this is one of the most important cards to send, when needed, and it is often hard to make them at a sad time.
Well, February really flew past and so my card is quite late in the month. I was thinking about appropriate stamps for sympathy cards and I thought birds would work.
This card really was easy to put together. I stamped and die cut out all the pieces. The wood background paper is a coordinating product and I just used the B side for the accent. I used a different set for the sentiment and there is a nice verse inside (not pictured). The birdies are popped up to add dimension.
This stamp set is actually on sale at Close to My Heart just till tomorrow 2/29, if you wanted to snatch it up. (I don’t sell CTMH, I just occasionally buy when I love what they offer.)
Spruced Up Cardmaking stamp or this one includes the dies.
The sentiment is from Joy Clair Heartfelt Sympathy set.
I would love to enter WordArtWednesday’s Anything Goes challenge, The Card Concept Warm Winter wishes (I was inspired by the wooden board in the image), and SimonSaysStamp’s Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.
Thank you for visiting!

Sweet little birds and the card looks so perfect as a sympathy card too Heidi ;) Viv xx
Heidi, you did good! Those birdies look so lovely and I like what you did with the sheet of paper, switching in the middle section. This could actually be a perfect sketch/layout to do that! I'm with you wishing I could make them ahead of time so your pledge is admirable. XXO
