Sympathy Rose- C4C581

Posted on April 22, 2021April 23, 2021 by mymessycraftroom5

So April is winding down and it is my last week of hosting the Crazy4Challenges blog. This week I decided to do an inspiration challenge, I choose a piece of artwork from work because I always thought is was pretty, if you zoom in you will see that there are other colours that aren’t noticed right away, and gasp….. this isn’t a pop up card 😱

I had a hard time getting the effect that I was aiming for, after several attempts I gave up and tried something new, and this is what I came up with.

Silver & Gold Sympathy set

Posted on February 1, 2021February 1, 2021 by mymessycraftroom5

Today I have a few Sympathy cards that I made back in October. Unfortunately I needed to make a set. Two of the cards went to very dear friends of mine, and one went to a family member, so they needed to be special. This is what I came up with.

Striped Sympathy card C4C552

Posted on September 11, 2020September 11, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I find making sympathy cards the hardest. I generally try to make a few ahead of time so I have one when needed, but I happened to be out, and unfortunately I needed one. This weeks challenge is to make a card using stripes so I used this challenge to help me make this card. I feel that sympathy cards should be simple, so this weeks card has no bells and whistles, no pop ups, no shakers, just a little bit of shimmer to the dragonfly wings and the words.

“the Blues” Sympathy Card

Posted on February 15, 2019February 15, 2019 by mymessycraftroom5

Sympathy cards are not my favourite to make, but I try to have a few in my box to have on hand when needed. To make this card I used the “Ghosting” technique (no pun intended). This technique gives a soft image (see the white flowers) and depending on the colours or effect you are looking for you can decide on whether you only want a subtle 2toned effect or if you want to add another colour (see darker blue flowers) to add more contrast.
