Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a serene illustration that feels as tranquil as an early morning walk through the green corners of Mottingham. Tall, fine-stemmed wildflowers-those airy, umbrella-like umbels-reach upwards in slender arcs, tinted in gentle shades of lavender, dusky purple, and soft blue. The petals and seed heads appear almost translucent at their edges, as if the colour has been gently brushed on with watercolour and allowed to fade into a soft haze. Behind them, the background melts into muted violets and silvery greens, reminiscent of distant trees and hedgerows softened by mist. Two delicate butterflies float among the blossoms, wings barely defined, like fleeting thoughts of comfort crossing the mind of someone in mourning. The overall layout is light and uncluttered, each stem given room to breathe, evoking a sense of stillness and quiet strength rather than drama. Subtle variations in tone suggest shifting light, as though a cloud has just passed, leaving a tender glow. There is a calm tactility to the design; you can imagine the gentle grain of the card under your fingers, firm yet comforting. This image expresses sympathy in a way that is understated and respectful, ideal for sending condolences to a neighbour or friend nearby, perhaps someone living off Court Road or near the station. It feels like a soft-spoken message from the heart, using nature's language to say, "I'm thinking of you," in a way that is both deeply felt and beautifully composed.
