This stamp set is so beautiful! What I noticed today in working with it is you can totally change the mood of the card just by changing the color palette. I think this card could easily be used for sympathy.
I used a silver translucent embossing power for the sentiment (I probably would use white next time), and white embossing power for the rest. The inside is white textured paper with the flourish from the same set on the edges in black...thus reversing the color palette on the inside. There is plenty of room for a personal handwritten message expressing sympathy and/or support.
Enjoy!

This is simple and beautiful and I think would make a beautiful sympathy card, but at the other end of the spectrum, I think it would also make a beautiful wedding card. Altogether, very well done. TFS

I agree. This is one of the most versatile stamps I've ever seen. The white on black just jumps out at you. I'm glad you added only ribbon as I like the simple, elegant look. Good work!
