A friend of mine asked me to make a sympathy card for her so she could give it to a family that had lost a loved one. I CASEd this from a card I saw on SCS by "knightrone". Hers was not quite this clean and simple but I kept mine like this so it could be mailed without any extra postage. I really like the simplicity of it though. That bow is actually brown, but looks almost black in the photo. I used the Thoughts and Prayers stamp from SU and used some Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, and some DP I had in my stash.
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving (if you celebrate this). All my company is finally gone and after five days of cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, etc......I'm really ready for things to be back to normal again.
Thanks for stopping by...............

This is so very nice. I love the simplicity of it, it's simple, but very dignified. I had a wonderful holiday, but like you, am more than a little ready to get back to normal a little.
ReplyDeleteLynn, this is the perfect sympathy card and the dark ribbon just finishes it off beautifully. Another gorgeous card.

Hi Lynn! I'm back!! Makin' my rounds. Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving and hope you've recovered from your guests and hard work.
ReplyDeleteThis card is just beautiful. I find green is such a soothing color for sympathy cards. I love the layout and it's simplicity (although it looks like you did a lot of hard work!)
Off to visit your other projects since I went missing :)
Ideally we'd never have to use sympathy cards but if so your's is beautiful, love the tree!!! Hugs, Karen

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I like the simplicity of the design and subtle colors. The bow is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I think I'll need to CASE this one!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful, Lynn. I'm saving it in my CASE files. :o)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the clean-ness (if that's a word) of this card. My uncle passed over the weekend and I'm going to send my cousins sympathy cards. I might CASE this CASE.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I love this! What a feeling of movement you've captured!
ReplyDeleteLynn, this is so very pretty. The soft colors and clean design are so beautiful for a sympathy card, which are always so difficult to create. You added so much with the layering, the paper piercing and the stunning bow. Very pretty! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving! :)
