Am I the only one who finds that Sympathy cards are the most difficult to make? Luckily, Stampin' Up!'s "Thoughts & Prayers" set's beautiful images make it a little easier.
I used Regal Rose and Rose Red markers for the flowers and Handsome Hunter for the stems and leaves.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my card.

very pretty
great colors and inspiration for a card I now need to make. My friend just lost her husband of 20 years to stage 4 stomach cancer, so this inspiration of a sympathy card is needed. thx

Beautiful card - a simply stated, thoughtful way to express your thoughts. Well done...

yes, they are hard, but you did a good job with this one. it is beautiful and elegant and I think that 's what you need with a sympathy card. too much stuff on a sympathy card and it looks more like it is about the stamper and not the recipient. This hits just the right note, without being plain. Gorgeous job.

This is beautiful and elegant, Meredith. Just perfect for a sympathy card. These *are* hard to make, but yours is superb. So very nicely done.
