Broken Heart

Hello friends, unfortunately I am back today with another sympathy card to show you. This one is for a lady who lost her eldest son. I decided to depict some imagery on this one for her.


The card is an A2 sized notecard and I cut a black panel at 4x5.25 inches to place on the notecard base. I then cut another panel one eighth inch smaller in white cardstock and stamped the Deepest Sympathy sentiment on it in London Fog ink. I then added the stamped panel to the black one.


My focal point is a golden heart die cut from gold foil cardstock and then cut into pieces to depict a shattered heart. The blue flower is the representation of her son. I completed the card with the word Peace cut from Quickutz dies and the sub-sentiment printed on my printer. I added a blue gem to the center of the flower.

Since this card needs to go in the mail, I have kept it as flat as possible.

  4. Oh, this is beautiful, Monica. So emotive, I'm sure she will be comforted. Love the sentiment. Really great job piecing the Peace alphas - mine never look that good which is probably why I don't use my cursive alpha fonts much, xoxo
