Today I made a sympathy card using the sketch designed by Korin (SC441). While I enjoy creating, it always burdens my heart when I have to make a sympathy card. I hope and pray this card using Live Your Dream and Close As a Memory from Stampin Up brings some comfort.
I used the basket weave and flower flourish (unsure of name) embossing folder from SU as well as Marina Mist, Black and white SU papers.
WOO HOO! I DID IT! There is no designer paper. LOL! The second panel is stamped with the small flowers from the Live your Dream set and then embossed with the basket weave folder.
Thanks for looking!!

Yes, I know what you mean about sympathy cards also. I had to create two of them recently.
This is gorgeous. Love your color choice and image. The embossing and sewing are great touches also.

Lovely sympathy card done in the rich blue/black/white, Chris. Your one DP goes so well with your silhouetted flowers and your machine stitching adds a "homey" touch.
I feel the same way about the sympathy cards. For me, the joy is gone in making a card. The recipient is usually touched by by the thoughtfulness of the card though. I'm sure your card will be very much appreciated too.
I love the blue and black in this beautiful creation!
