Sympathy cards are some of the difficult one to make, in my opinion, and so I designed this set to hopefully help with that. Hugs and Prayers includes coordinating silhouette for straight stamping and line drawings for coloring. You can use the coordinating images together for 2-step stamping as well. It also includes sentiments and Bible verses that are perfect to communicate your love and concern to the recipient of the card.
My first card uses shows how you can use the images from Hugs and Prayers for Copic coloring (the flowers) and 2-step stamping (the hummingbird)
I used the line art poppies, colored with Copics, for this card.
And, finally, to show you that Hugs and Prayers is also good for any occasions cards, I created theses card sets. The first set has the silhouette poppies images and different sentiments. As you can see with this set, it's easy to mass produce elegant Clean and Simple cards for gift giving.
This second set of cards uses the poppies line art. The rows of poppies backgrounds are included in my latest digital paper pack, Sizzlin' Summer, which coordinate with many GinaK CS, including Turquoise Sea, Sweet Mango, Wild Dandelion, Grass Green and Red Hot. The card base is Chocolate Kiss. I'll be making tons of these sets to give away as gifts as we visit many friends this summer. Click on the photo for a larger view.
