Funeral
This sympathy card presents a tranquil, nature-inspired illustration that feels as soothing as a slow walk through the greener corners of St Paul's Cray. Fine, spidery stems rise from an indistinct base, their umbel-shaped flower heads rendered in delicate outlines of violet, heather, and bluish grey. The lower portion of the card is bathed in softened watercolour washes-muted purples, silvery greens, and hints of cool blue-that blend into one another without hard edges, suggesting distant foliage and a hazy horizon. Above this, the wildflower silhouettes become more distinct yet remain feather-light, as though etched in the air rather than rooted in the ground. Their lacy clusters are partially transparent, letting the underlying colour bleed through, which lends the scene a sense of depth and soft movement, like grasses shifting in a breeze over the nearby open spaces. Between these graceful forms, butterflies drift almost ghostlike, their wings outlined so gently they seem on the verge of disappearing, embodying a fragile yet enduring presence. The lighting feels like early morning: quiet, grey-white, and utterly calm, inviting reflection rather than demanding attention. A modest sympathy message sits above the flowers, written in a restrained, tasteful script that does not compete with the art. As someone who arranges condolence flowers for local families, I recognise in this design the same intention we bring to a thoughtfully composed funeral spray: an expression of support that is gentle, considerate, and deeply respectful of the sorrow it accompanies.
