Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights September Sympathy Theme


Hello Welcome to the Kylie's August International blog highlight. My name is Donna Gray I come from a small suburb called Goonellabah which is situated in The Northern Rivers area of New South Wales in Australia. This is my second time blog highlighting with the international blog hopper's so I am so excited I was lucky enough on my first time being named in the top 10 so I am happy to be joining this blog highlight again. I hope you all like what I have made.
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 front of my Sympathy card as you can see the tulips definately give that elegant look to the card I have I chose calypso coral for the colours with a hint of emerald envy as a layer just to add a little more colour with out it being too bold I then finished it off with a very vanilla ribbon & some of our Rhinestone basic Jewels 
The sentiment was from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp set .
Inside I decided just one tulip was enough and a beautiful heartfelt sentiment from the Thoughts & Prayers Stamp set.

    Beautiful and Elegant. Love, love, love your card. We sometimes don't think of using color on Sympathy Cards, but I think it's important. This card is amazing. My absolute favorite.
