I tried to use cardstock as close as I could to the present colors.
I made a Z- fold Condolence card for a friend who goes to rough times...
Made a trio of flowers and stamped the flock of birds on the right side of my card.
The sentiment translates more or less as : "Only few words apply in a time of sadness and pain. We hope that this card will be a sign of condolence."
For further embellishment I just used an iron Colibrie, on the front frame.
symbol for lightness, love and resiliency
