With Deepest Sympathy

Sadly we needed a little too many sympathy cards during 2018.

It's always harder to make them when you need them, so I plan on making some to have ready and waiting in my stash.

This CAS card uses the "Simple Lily" digital stamp from the Keeping It Simple Set

 from Beccy's Place and a digital sentiment (details and links below).

I opened the lily image and sentiment in Silhouette Studio and sized them to fit on an A5 panel, printed on X-Press It blending card, heat set, then coloured with Copic markers.  I adhered the panel to an A5 top folding card base and the card was done. 

We have these lilies growing in our garden and there is a "glow" in the middle of the flower, so of course I had to add a touch of my lightest yellow-green Copic marker.
It's pretty delicate, so I'm not sure if you can see it...

Interesting fact:
The white outer part of the lily is not the flower, it is a petal-like spathe and
the yellow stalk in the middle is the spadix, which are the plant's true flowers.

These lilies are so elegant, perfect for sending heartfelt sympathy.
