Masculine Sympathy
This is a masculine sympathy card. I incorporated it into Julia’s Challenge at SCS today to either make or incorporate a tag into your project. The main sentiment circle is a tag. A combination of 3 SU sets were used, all retired. Here it is:
This card is 8.5 x 4″ and fits in a business sized envelope. The base is Barely Banana, the image is watercolored with refills and an Aquapainter The sentiment tag is Pop Dotted up. There is a twine run through eyelets on the decorative dividing bar. I wanted to make a sympathy card that wasnot dark and drabbutthathad some brightness/life to it. And I always like this sentiment from All I Have Seen for sympathy cards.
- Stamps: Calms Seas, All I Have Seen, Peace and Comfort (inside), all retired. With Sympathy by Stampendous.
- Paper: Barely Banana, Black, Watercolor.
- Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black, vavious reinkers to watercolor.
- Accessories: Aquapainter, Eyelets, Cropadile, 2″ Circle Punch, Twine, Red Sticky Tape, Pop Dots.
Thanks much for looking!!! My Stamp Simply Challenge will be up in the morning — hope you can play!!!

Very well done to achieve this masculine, non-dreary sympathy card. Not an easy task. I like the tag, and twine on the divider bar. Great coloring to get the light shining out too.

Wonderful, comforting sympathy card. Your coloring is beautiful on this.
The corded divider piece is a very impressive accent element. And I agree with you, that sentiment verse is perfect for a sympathy card. Beautifully done.
