Funeral
This sympathy card opens onto a quiet watercolour landscape, where delicate wildflowers and feathery umbels stand tall against a field of misted violets, lilacs, and soft blue-greys. The colours drift into one another like morning fog over Tooting Bec Common, creating a hushed, meditative backdrop. Each stem is drawn as a fine whisper of line, rising from the base of the card and branching into tiny, lace-like clusters that feel almost weightless. The blooms themselves are not bold or showy; instead, they have the fragile grace of meadow flowers you might notice along a peaceful side street off Upper Tooting Road. Faint silhouettes of butterflies hover among the flower heads, their forms barely outlined, wings tinted with the same muted purples and silvery greens. They appear mid-flight, suspended in a gentle current of air, hinting at transformation and the persistence of beauty beyond sorrow. The light in the illustration is soft and diffuse, with no hard shadows, as though it were painted under a clouded sky that invites inward reflection. There is a comforting stillness to the design, yet subtle movement in the curved stems and poised butterflies. As a florist serving the Tooting Bec community, I recognise the quiet compassion this card conveys: it feels like placing a simple, wildflower-inspired bouquet on a memorial table, knowing that its presence alone can speak of care, remembrance, and sincere sympathy when words are difficult to find.
