Deepest Sympathies

I am sad to say that I have had the need for far to many sympathy cards lately, they are never fun cards to make but I feel they are one of the most important. When someone you love is hurting due to a loss, there is nothing quite as nice as a hand made note of love, caring and sympathy to help them through their pain. 

Since I have been needing some of these lately and sympathy cards are not something you  necessarily know is coming up, I decided to be proactive and make a few to have on hand when the unfortunate need arises. 

I did this one based on the sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and like last weeks card, I am still working on using up some scraps. I love the Pemberly paper pack, it is so pretty and I have to say the Card Word Puzzle stamp set that I used for the stamped flower image has got to be my all time favourite, I go to this stamp time and time again; it is just so versatile.

I love the card, and Pemberley is one of my all time favorite papers. I agree that sympathy cards are the hardest to make, but you made this one look easy. Great job!
