This week's challenge for the Twisted Sisters was to create a sympathy card. This was a really tough one for me. I kept it simple
I was looking through the gallery the other day and came upon a card made with this set by StampingQueenJAR. She is such a fantastic stamper. I knew that this set was something I would find difficult to use but would love it at the same time.
This will go to my dear aunt who lost her son. He never got to have all the wonderful thing in life that I do..spouse, children, grandchildren. But he can now be at peace.....

Dawn, what a perfectly suitable scripture for this sad time. This will certainly touch your aunt's heart. Prayers for your family sis.
There is such a warmth to your scene, and so much detail, but it looks like you have studied StampingQueenJAR and done well! I love her gallery too. Beautiful card Dawn.

Oh I so love the lighthouse image. I do have a few of them from our own sweet Grace (Scrappigramma2). Just love those. You did so good with your coloring and the background is awesome, so touching sentiment for the occasion. TFS Dawn
