Today, Linda gave us a fun challenge to use some script on our card. After looking at the example that inspired her, I decided I would stamp on a dictionary page with the definition of "sympathy". Hence, this is a sympathy card for a dear friend of mine. Sympathy cards are always difficult for me, but this challenge took all the thinking out of the picture and made it very easy.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look. Hope you like it.

I just love pansies they remind me of my grandpa who always used to plant them in his backyard!! Beautiful card it really looks like you could put a frame around it and hang it up! Your friend will cherish I am sure.

Into my favs. This is beautiful....your pansies look perfect for the card, and the idea of using the sympathy definition works so well. I love how you brought it all together with the framing. This truly is a beautiful card. Thanks for playing and sharing this wonderful card Barb.

Very pretty and you did a great job of matching up just the right word for your card..Those pansies are lovely and look very nice with the "wording" of that dictionary page.
