I handcrafted this sympathy card to reflect how quickly time passes as represented by the hummingbird silhouetted against a sunset.
I created the base card from black cardstock and layered it with deep peach cardstock.
Using watercolors I produced a subtle sunset on watercolor paper for the background of the stamped hummingbird and morning glory silhouettes. I matted this image on black cardstock.
I printed the simple sentiment "With Deepest Sympathy" below the matted image.
For the inside of the card I used deep peach cardstock and printed the simple condolence "Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time" on it. I stamped an ivy silhouette along its lower edge.
I also handcrafted a coordinating envelope from heavy cover stock and printed an oval image of the hummingbird in the sunset on the front lower left hand corner.
