Stamps, Paper, and Ink: Beau Château Sympathy

Beau Château Sympathy

It's sad when you find yourself needing to send a sympathy card. I've always wondered why the word sympathy is used so I looked up the definition.

Sympathy: harmony of or agreement in feeling, as between persons or on the part of one person with respect to another; the fact

or power of sharing the feelings of another, especially in sorrow or trouble; fellow feeling, compassion.

It makes so much sense to realize sympathy is not sorrow/pity FOR someone, but loving thoughts shared with them.

My friend gave her friend a beautiful butterfly necklace as a gift, so I thought bright butterflies would be appropriate using Daffodil Delight card stock. I highlighted the butterfly details by painting on Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink to give a shimmery glow.

I've been featuring the Beau Chateau Designer Papers on my projects this week, and the Paper Doily Die. The coordinating Side Notes are a ready-made focal point for any project! I chose the label and stamped the sentiment from the Loving Thoughts set in Soft Suede ink.

Our son and precious new DIL spent the last couple of nights visiting us, and just got on the road home. All our household is quiet now, with everyone off for the day except for Josie (our beagle pup) and me. I'm settling in with a second cuppa my morning tea, so glad you could join me! Have a great day.
