Kylie Bertucci’s International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop Sympathy Theme

Uncategorized

Welcome to my blog My name is Donna Gray & I live in a small country town in the Northern Rivers area of NSW Australia.
In September I participated in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights event 

The Theme for this highlight was a Sympathy Card which is not an easy card to make but the thought of how a card like this can offer comfort for someone who is going through such a sad time in their lives losing a loved one helps you create such a card.
My go to stamp set had to be the Tranquil Tulips Hostess Stamp set to create this card as they are such beautiful flowers to make an elegant card I try to keep Sympathy cards quite simple but elegant at the same time.
This is the card that I entered into the International Highlights event which if you voted for me you will remember seeing my card

So once again I was lucky to be voted in the top ten winners to participate in this wonderful blog hop alongside all of the other 9 talented crafters who I must say have so much creativity.
So as a added extra I have made two more sympathy cards 
With this card once again I went for a more simple elegant look Using our lovely Bermuda Bay Card Stock as the base Followed by a layer of crumb cake then my whisper white layer that I have stamped the lovely flower spray from the Thoughts & Prayers Set To stamp the With sympathy I used the Flourishing Phrases Set Two of my go to stamp sets for special occasions & very simple Sympathy cards.
I then decided I would make a more male themed Sympathy card for some gentlemen that have had their partner pass away as my flower sympathy cards are sometime to feminine to give to a male recipient
So out of all my stamp sets I went back to one of the most favourite stamp sets that Stampin Up! have made the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set I tend to use this set a lot for male themed cards & let us not forget it is a lovely set for a snowy Christmas card also.
