With Sympathy



As I was going through some things today, I found a box of cards I saved from when my mother passed away a little over a year ago. It made me remember how comforting those handmade sympathy cards were during that tragic time.

You don't realize how much it is appreciated - but it is so very comforting to receive a handmade card during the difficult time of loss.

I have created a simple Sympathy card to share with you today. I used the Bazzill Monochromcatic Violet papers, Lavender Sachet and Violette Palette Ink Pads, and stamps from Swirly Gigs (soon retiring) and With Sympathy. You can't really tell in the picture - but I also highlighted a bit with our clear Stardust Glitter Pen

  6. Beautiful card. I really like this particular stamp set. I will continue to use mine long after it has retired. I also like to use the stardust glitter pens to add some sparkle and shine! I will be thinking of you and praying for continued healing as you remember your mother!
