My sympathies

Hello all,

Today I have a very sad card to show you, one of my dad's friends lost his wife this weekend after several years of illness. Of course we were going to send a card, but I didn't have any more sympathy cards in my stash. So this is what I came up with yesterday morning:

I don't really like to 'jazz up' such cards, as I don't really feel it's that appropriate, so kept it pretty plain. Hope the family likes it.

Materials:
* Kraft base cad
* Silver and bronze matted card, distressed
* Studio Light 3D image
* Flower punch
* Some scraps, ribbon, brown pearls and peel off letters from my stash

Challenges:
* Perfect Sentiments (CAS Sympathy card)
* Unstampabelles (Paper Flowers)
* Crafty Sentiments (CAS)
* Deep Ocean Challenge (Anything Goes)
* Papertake Weekly (Anything Goes)
* Creative Inspirations (CAS)
* Pile it On (Add Metal - Metal-coloured card)
* Crafty Pad (Show Some Metal - Metal-coloured card)
* Ribbon Girl (Bingo - I've used ribbon, pearls and an image)
* Catch the Bug (Anything Goes)

Sympathy Card

Hi everyone,

Here is the third card for this week, wow, I'm on a roll! Unfortunately, the making of this card didn't have a very happy reason. Our cleaning lady at work lost her husband this week. I wanted to send her my own card as she is such a nice person. Here is my card:

Materials used:
* Studio Light DP, 3D image and sentiments
* Pearls and blue paper from my stash

Submitted to these challenges:
* Poodles Parlour (Come Fly with Me; the Dandelion seeds are flying through the air, hope that counts)
* Allsorts (Anything Goes)
* Anything Goes Challenge (Letter D -> Dandelion)
* Bling it On (Anything Goes)
* Craft Your Passion (Anything Goes)
* Sentimental Sundays (Anything Goes)
* Ooh La La (Summer Flowers)
* KB Cute Monday Challenge (Anything Goes)
* Bearly Mine (Anything Goes)
* Deep Ocean Challenge (Any card)

Hope she likes the card, it's not very traditional but I think it's a great sympathy image.
