With Sympathy

Unfortunately, I will be making a few more sympathy cards today.  :(  Our dear sweet co-worker's mother passed away unexpectedly late Thursday evening.  I learned the news early Friday morning, called my co-worker and proceeded to cry for the next 10 minutes.  They knew she was ill, but not "she's going to die ill"; of course, when it's your time - IT'S YOUR TIME!

Anyway, this particularly sympathy card was a custom order last week and I really like how it turned out.  I used the VLVJAN2011 layout (week 3).  I used some DP from Memory Box and Basic Grey's basics manilla paper.  My all-time favorite sympathy set is by Verve Visual, "Forever in Our Hearts"; I always turn to this set when sympathy cards are needed.

I stamped the large and small foilage in 2nd generation PTI Dark Chocolate & then offset with VersaMagic Malted Mauve on the main panel.  Distressed all the edges, added some pink satin ribbon from My Favorite Things and a large PTI button with Chocolate baker's twine to finish it off.

Love how it turned out; pray it brings comfort to the one receiving it.


Have a great weekend; hugs, ~M.
