Today the Queen for the Day is Irene, DandI93. See the details in the challenge sub forum. Congratulations! Enjoy your reign - your gallery is beautiful.
I have had a request to make several sympathy cards so need to work on this!
This is fairly close to the original: CAS37 Deepest Sympathy by DandI93 at Splitcoaststampers
On my screen I cannot see if the white layer is embossed, but dry embossing the bg is a favorite for me. The image is similar, as are the colors and ribbon.

very pretty Dorothy, sympathy cards are so hard for me to make, It's hard to work through the tears even if I try to make them ahead of time to have some, I turn into a wreck... I love the embossed background, I wish I had thought of it, thanks for joining in the fun, hugs Irene

What a neat idea, Dorothy, to only cuddle the upper 3/4's of your card. It's a perfect idea to give you space for your sentiment. I love the white and teal together. Wonderful card. I'm sorry it's a sympathy card though.

Love the choice of your colors - restful and peaceful - just what you need for a sympathy card. The nesties were a great choice to feature your Simply said flowers - great case here of our new Queen's card.
