Masculine cards tend to be the most challenging to create (at least for me). My goal is to post masculine card options each Monday for the month of September 2023. I recently read a post in a craft group that someone was looking for ideas for masculine sympathy cards. This prompted me to create these 2 simple sympathy cards. It is much easier to create sympathy cards when you are not in need of them. Check out my YouTube video to see my process. Below is a list of inks and stamp sets that were used. These can be modified to use ink colors and stamps that you have on hand as many of the stamp sets I used are no longer available to purchase.
