I often use one of my tree images & always keep them simple--often using green. I really like that your backgrounds have multiple colors & interest without being "showy" or overwhelming.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725341449030070385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054901116784258328.post-74266072207256130722017-09-21T20:08:08.847+09:302017-09-21T20:08:08.847+09:30These cards are lovely, Love the trees and amazing...These cards are lovely, Love the trees and amazing backgrounds too.. and to be honest, I have not ever made a sympathy card.. I think something that is simple on the outside and a sentiment of love and care on the inside would be what I would use.. These look very good Helen..

I love the colours .. simply gorgeous and trees always make me feel calm and at peace so, for me, they are totally appropriate. I also find sympathy cards difficult to do because, like you, am never sure of what is appropriate either but I tend to go for muted colours. After seeing these cards of yours though, I may have to change that idea. The backgrounds you have created here are simply awesome. Your first card, being bright and beautiful signifies, to me, the celebration of a life, and the second, being more muted is very comforting. Both cards are clean, simple and absolutely perfect!! hugs xx Margaret Mifsudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807555779599228830noreply@blogger.com
