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!!

A wonderful sympathy card that is sure to bring comfort. Yes, they are so hard to make.

How beautiful Chris, with the blue, white and black. I love too how you flipped the sketch. I'm sure this will bring much comfort to the recipient.

Chris, a lovely sympathy card. I like to keep a few on hand so that while I am making them I am not sad for a particular person. Love your image!
