Paper crafting enables us to make cards for all occasions, but one of the most difficult to design is the one that says you are sorry to hear sad news. You want to show you care, but are not sure of what to say!
I often use the words "Just to say", and on this card I've used the image of a Pansy. The meaning of the pansy is "loving thoughts". The two must surely be meant for each other!
Is colour something you think about? I looked up the colour Purple and found this bit of interesting trivia.
"How the color purple affects us physically:
Uplifts - well the pansy certainly uplifts the spirits at this time of the year!
Calms the mind and nerves - offers a sense of spirituality - Yes!
Encourages creativity - an ideal colour for us then!
With a sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types and is the favorite colour of adolescent girls." Wonder if they know just how predictable their colour choice is? - they do like to be soooo different! What does your colour choice say about you? Me, well I think I must have been in a very sad, reflective mood when I made this card....
On a lighter note....see you around WOYWW!
