This gentle card is designed for those times when you are at a loss of what to say to a friend when life is hard on them. It is a sympathy or condolences card, to be sent when times are tough. I often feel that nothing I could say in a card could adequately express the depth of pain they must be feeling, but I know it is better to send a card than to say nothing. This card has a delicate drawing of trees reflected on water. The words ‘sometimes there are no words’ are written on the front and then the card is blank inside for your own message.
It is printed on lovely quality card, and comes with a nice white envelope.
Size: The folded card is A6 size – roughly 150mm x 105mm
ABOUT THE CARDS
All the cards are designed, manufactured and packaged by hand in the UK. They are printed on FSC approved card stock which means that it is sourced from sustainable mixed forests.
The original drawings are inspired by the little corner of the world I’m lucky enough to inhabit. I draw in pencil, biro and watercolour, filling my sketchbook with drawings and notes, and working on bigger pencil drawings back in the studio. My work is all about connection: connection with nature, connection with each other.
I love that when someone sends a card they are letting that person know they are valued. I like to imagine posties collecting and delivering the cards, and the journey the cards make by van and air and foot, landing on someone’s front door mat and making that person’s day. Are you planning on sending this card to someone special? Let me know when you leave a review!

Not always easy to find the right words.

Just perfect for when a loss is so enormous words simply aren’t adequate.

A beautiful card sensitively worded and illustrated.

Good simple wording on your cards which are meaningful. I suggest brighter backgrounds ( not referring to bereavement ) , maybe background scenery.

I don’t feel under any pressure to write anything inside as the words just say it all.
