Funeral
The artwork on this sympathy card captures the hushed stillness you might feel walking along Peckham Rye Park at first light, when everything is softened by mist. Fine, willowy stems rise from the lower edge of the card, each one topped with an umbel of tiny, clustered blooms that resemble delicate lacework against the sky. The palette is restrained yet expressive: muted lavenders, dusky blues, and soft sage greens flow into one another in watery layers, creating a dreamy backdrop that hints at distant grass and gentle hills without defining them. The flowers themselves are drawn with subtle outlines and faint washes of colour, so light that they seem to sway quietly even though the image is still. Fluttering among the stems are a few gossamer butterflies, their wings ghostlike, as if they are lingering memories rather than physical creatures. The overall light is even and diffuse, with no harsh contrast-just the calm gradation of tone that invites contemplation. The design feels intentionally uncluttered, leaving space for emotion, much like the thoughtful stillness that settles over a family home during a wake or funeral gathering. From a florist's perspective, it carries the same emotional weight as a softly toned condolence arrangement delivered to one of Peckham's terraced streets: understated, dignified, and deeply caring. This card doesn't attempt to brighten grief with bold colour; instead, it offers a quiet refuge in cool, soothing shades, a tender backdrop for sincere sympathy messages that honour a life lived and offer comfort to those who remain.
