A Few Sympathy Cards for Some Challenges

Hey Friends!!

I am popping in with some cards for some challenges. These are also included in an IG Hop-Create It 3 Ways and the theme was SYMPATHY. It is to use the same products to make three cards. I used some stamps/dies from an old Simon Says Stamp kit. Butterfly Blossoms was perfect for the sympathy theme.


I also showcased an Altenew Die-Floral Lace-to ground my flowers. 


I colored the flowers in with Copic Markers and all the sentiments are from Taylored Expressions.


I am entering this particular card into the following two challenges-The Color Hues Challenge #129 Gold and Marigold and the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Beautiful Blooms.


The second card I created I used a yellow card base. This made the flowers look so differently than the purple.


There was a question in the messages if you put sequins or gems on a sympathy card. I say, the prettier the better and I LOVE a little shine.


I am entering this card in the following challenges-Just Add Ink#781-Just Add Wings and Just Us Girls #815 Mood Board Week.

The last card I created I used a slightly different purple for the background.

I really like how using different colored backgrounds can create a totally different look!!

Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Once again I used a day 4 die from the Spellbinder’s 2026 Advent Calendar for my card. came with three different sentiments but I chose the thank you for my cards.


I added some die cut flowers from my stash and the background I used a white embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp.


The little polaroid frame I created by using two different square dies. The pattern paper was from my scraps.
