Funeral
The design of this sympathy card unfolds like a gentle breath, evoking the subtle beauty you might notice on an unhurried walk through South Wimbledon in the early morning. Fine, umbelliferous flower heads stretch upward on slender, arching stems, each blossom rendered with lace-like precision and softened by translucent layers of watercolour. Violets, dusky blues, and muted lilacs wash over pale, silvery greens, creating a palette that feels cool to the eye yet emotionally warm and reassuring. The background blends seamlessly from soft grey-lavender at the top to a whisper of blue toward the base, like a sky just beginning to lighten over nearby Wimbledon Common. The flowers themselves are semi-transparent at their tips, giving the impression of movement-a slight swaying, as if stirred by a breeze. Among these ethereal stems, faint butterflies drift and hover, their wings barely more than a shimmer of colour, hinting at hope, continuity, and the quiet presence of those we miss. There are no harsh lines or bold contrasts; instead, everything is gently blurred at the edges, encouraging a feeling of contemplation and calm. The negative space between each stem invites pauses, much like the reflective moments that arise when saying goodbye. Though the wording of condolence rests unobtrusively above or beside the illustration, the real message is carried by the flowers' grace and the hushed atmosphere they create. As a florist serving South Wimbledon, accustomed to crafting funeral tributes that speak softly yet meaningfully, I recognise in this card a tender expression of sympathy-subtle, respectful, and perfectly attuned to someone navigating loss.
