Hello everyone! So it's been highly HIGHLY requested that I do a Sympathy Card Series - so I'm starting now but like most things I'll be posting all over the place and on no set schedule. When I do post sympathy cards they get tagged in my Sympathy/Get Well Soon category here on my blog, and down the road I'll organize a playlist of all the videos on my YouTube channel.
I JUST posted a haul video earlier today, and instead of hoarding everything like I usually do I decided to use a bunch of it and put it to the test:
I used WPlus9's Sympathy Lilies stamp set, stamping the cluster of flowers onto Tonic watercolor paper with Ink on 3 Blackout ink. I then used the new Vickie Boutin tube water-colours (I discuss my thoughts on those in the video - end verdict for me is I've gifted them to my older kids for them to use. They're OK but with all the sets of watercolor that I own now I just know I'm not going to reach for them).
I heat embossed the sentiments from the Sympathy Lilies set onto a vellum and black card stock before wrapping the vellum around the card front and gluing the die cut sentiment over it.
I finished off the inside of the card by inking up the flower stamp with MFT's Field Day dye ink then stamping it off once on scratch paper before stamping it onto the inside of the card. I then stamped the sentiment that's in the Sympathy Lilies set with the Blackout ink and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
