Pink Flower Sympathy Card

I was asked to make a sympathy card for my mom and I thought I'd share the steps on how I made it.

I started with a blank A6 sized, white greeting card. I also had these plastic, pink flowers lying around in my room. I thought they would make a great decoration on the card, so I cut a few off.



I used these shimmer watercolor paints I really like. I've been using a combination of blue and pink/fuschia color a lot lately because I like how they look together. I poked holes where I wanted the flowers to go and stuck a little bit of the stem of each flower through it. I also glued it down to make sure it stays.



Lastly, I added "Sorry about your loss" text, printed out on computer paper. The watercolor bled through to the inside, but I think it looks nice. The type of card I used isn't really meant to hold watercolor, but hopefully it will last.



Here's how it came out:



If you want a sympathy card like this (or any of my cards in my sales section), you can always custom order. I also made a similar blog entry with another sympathy card here. One of my other cards also got featured in an EtsyVeg treasury on their blog. I still have a few holiday cards left, which I'll put half off pretty soon. There's free shipping my shop all this month so it's a good time to buy. :)
