Sympathy cards: lilies, a soft sky, a paw print

Sympathy cards — a vertical card front reading "With Deepest Sympathy" under a spray of white lilies on a soft gray-green ground, with an open space below for a written message, hand-painted soft watercolor with loose washes, visible paper grain and small hand-lettered type

every sample — three subjects, three styles ↓

Reading 1With sympathy
Reading 2Thinking of you
Reading 3Pet loss

People send these after a death, to a friend, a colleague or someone who lost a pet, when a few written words are all they can offer. Each front is quiet: white lilies under With Deepest Sympathy, a pale watercolor sky under Thinking of You, or a small paw print under Sorry for Your Loss. The nine samples are three fronts in three finishes. Type a different subject, such as white roses or a cat, and the layout takes it.

  • a card after a funeral or a memorial
  • a note to a colleague who lost a relative
  • a card for someone who lost a pet
  • a card signed and sent by post

Frequently asked questions

What do the three fronts say?
With Deepest Sympathy over white lilies, Thinking of You over a pale sky, and Sorry for Your Loss over a paw print for a pet.
Is there room to write?
Yes. Each front has one short line and open space for your message.
What is the difference between the finishes?
Watercolor uses soft washes, flat vector uses crisp shapes with a simple sans-serif line, and pencil and wash is a fine colored-pencil drawing on a pale wash.
Can I ask for a different subject?
Yes. Type a subject such as white roses or for a dog as a request; the samples show the three fronts, and a request is not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
