Congrat's to today's Featured Stamper, Jean (naturecoastcrafter) - I enjoyed your gallery very much and HERE is the card I chose to CASE.
I changed the flower images (Taylored Expressions) and added a butterfly and some pearls. I also changed the ribbon to twine and added it at the top instead. The sentiment is from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps set Elegant Blessings. I hope I haven't added too much to this, I usually like to keep sympathy cards very simple and clean.

Beautiful card! Reverent yet full of hope. Love it in pink and black. The stitching and layers of twine look nice. I like the die cut daisies and bottom border, as well. Beautiful! :)

What a Beautiful sympathy card, Bridget!! I love the black stamping on the pretty pink, and how you have ended the color where the twine goes across the panel!

Bridget, this is so lovely! And you didn't add too much at all. I love it! I think sympathy cards are often too sad, and more beauty will definitely lift the receiver's heart and encourage. Hugs!

Bridget, this is absolutely more than perfect! You have captured rich detail while keeping the card elegant, peaceful, and serene. The gradient background pulls you into the theme and scene. Just spectacular. Thank you for honoring me so beautifully.
