Our dear Angie (ohmypaper!) is Featured Stamper today. I pretty much wanted to CASE all of her cards. They are amazing and so memorable. So I knew exactly which one I wanted to CASE--but then I found this one on the way to the one I was looking for and realized it was perfect inspiration for this card that I am so sad to have to make.
Teapotters may remember the tea party we had for Finn, the little boy who had just finished his chemo treatment. Sadly, the cancer came back and he passed away last week. Is there anything more difficult to make than a sympathy card for the passing of a child? I just can't make a regular "grown up" kind of sympathy card. It needs just enough of a boyish touch to it. I used to make Batman cards to send to Finn, so I wanted a city skyline with The Bat Signal on the moon. I loved the purple sky of Angie's card and the thick framing and that's what helped me make this incredibly difficult card.

Oh, Jennifer, I am so sorry! How terribly sad! I think you did a perfect job making a card for this situation. The batman logo in the sky brings tears to my eyes...
