Here is a CAS square sympathy card. The ribbon was done based on a wonderful tutorial done by Kitty Caracciolo (I will post the link if I can find it again - I watched it about 6 months ago but just now really tried it). I sent this card to a sweet friend who just lost her mother. She lost her father not too long ago. She had the sweetest mother - she was so small and delicate and when you hugged her you had to be so careful. She loved hugging people! This card looks like something she would have loved. TFL!

So sweet, feminine and thoughtful. Your friend will treasure her beautiful card. The soft background with the stamped rose is perfect. Your bow is stunning. I will have to go to Kittie's blog to check out tutorial. TFS

Nancy, your heart is so very tender for others. You made me tear up to read about those tender hugs. She would have loved this- so soft and delicate, like her. Your paper is gorgeous and the paper piercing really adds so much! I love the sweet and comforting words you used, they are very touching. Your friend will feel hugged to see this. LYMI
