Funeral
This sympathy card opens to a scene that feels like a deep, steady breath taken along the paths near Royal Victoria Gardens in North Woolwich on a soft, overcast morning. A collection of tall, spidery wildflowers stretches upward in slim, elegant lines, their umbrella-like heads dusted in shades of violet, muted lilac, and silvery green. These blossoms are rendered with such delicacy that the petals look almost translucent, as though they've been brushed onto the card in fine layers of watercolour. Between the narrow stems, butterflies drift in from the edges of the design, their wings faintly tinted with cool blues and pale purples, appearing to hover mid-flight in the gentlest of breezes. The background is a serene wash of soft purple and sage, merging like distant clouds over the river, with no harsh outlines to jar the eye. Everything in the illustration feels balanced and open, with pockets of white space that invite quiet contemplation, much like pausing on a bench overlooking the water. The overall tone is one of hushed reverence and compassion, a visual murmur of support for someone moving through grief. The atmosphere it creates is akin to standing in a peaceful wildflower patch on the edge of North Woolwich, where the world seems to slow just enough for memories to settle. As florists used to guiding families through moments of loss, we see in this card's gentle colours, airy composition, and soft movement a respectful way to say, "I'm here," without overwhelming the senses, offering a tender, enduring gesture of sympathy.
