Funeral
This sympathy card presents a tender, nature-inspired illustration that feels as tranquil as walking through the quieter streets of Limehouse at dusk. Tall, slender stems reach upward from the base of the design, each topped with filigree umbels that resemble wild cow parsley, painted in layered washes of violet, blue-grey, and soft sage. The colours overlap in gentle gradients, giving the impression of mist or early morning fog drifting along the Thames. The flowers are drawn with a light hand, their outlines almost gauzy, so they seem to hover rather than stand rigidly in place. Behind them, a breezy background of muted purple and silvery green flows horizontally across the card, suggesting distant fields or riverbank grasses softened by time and memory. A few barely-there butterflies drift through the upper part of the image, their wings faintly tinted, symbolising quiet presence and the delicate passage from one stage of life to another. The light within the illustration is diffuse and soft, as though the scene were unfolding under a clouded Limehouse sky, providing a sense of shelter rather than brightness. No element shouts for attention; instead, the composition whispers comfort, inviting a pause, a breath, a moment of reflection. This card would feel especially appropriate for sending thoughtful condolences across Limehouse and nearby East London neighbourhoods, its understated beauty providing a gentle visual embrace when words alone do not feel like enough.
