Funeral
The design of this sympathy card carries the stillness of an early morning above Crystal Palace, when mist lingers and colours soften along the skyline. Fine, spidery stems of umbelliferous blooms rise from the lower edge of the card, painted in gentle violets, soft blues, and sage-tinted greys. The flower heads fan out in delicate, lace-like clusters, each tiny floret suggested with light, careful strokes that make the blossoms appear both fragile and enduring. Behind them, the background is layered with translucent washes of watercolour: muted purples melt into pale greenish-grey, creating the impression of distant foliage or a shaded meadow partially veiled in haze, reminiscent of views across Crystal Palace Park on a quiet day. Scattered among the blooms, barely-there butterflies drift with translucent wings, their outlines faint yet purposeful, like small symbols of hope and ongoing presence. The light seems to come from nowhere in particular, instead bathing the entire scene in a soft, even glow that invites contemplation rather than demanding attention. The composition is simple but measured, leaving breathing room between stems and petals so nothing feels crowded or overwhelming. The mood is one of quiet reflection, the kind you might find sitting on a bench overlooking the park's tree line. This card's illustration, with its tender palette and nature-led imagery, offers a gentle embrace in visual form, ideal for sending condolences within the Crystal Palace community-whether to a family on Anerley Hill or a friend near Gipsy Hill-when words alone don't feel like enough.
