With Deepest Sympathy



Morning!

Just a mini post from me this morning.  Its always hard creating a sympathy card, and luckily I haven't had to make more than one or two.  I have to admit I had a large lump at the back of my throat when I had to make this one for my friend and work colleague Julie who sadly lost her battle with cancer.  Julie herself was a very crafty lady so I knew I had to create something special.  I hope she would have liked this.




This is one of my favourite Pink Petticoat releases, it is so versatile. I printed on to kraft card and distressed the edges before stitching onto a plain cream background.  I used some adhesive gems and button twine to finish this card.  I'm so proud of creating this I am also entering it into the Less is More challenge along with my earlier entry.

Thank you for reading, check back later.

Take Care

Kate

    A beautiful card Kate and a most fitting tribute!
    I know how difficult these cards are to make when they are for personal use.
    Thanks so much

    Oh Kate this is so beautiful, it's such a shame to have to make cards like this in these circumstances but I think it expresses something more than words can.

    A beautiful soft sympathy card. Your friend would have loved it, and what a lovely thing for you to do.
    I have that PP digi, and fortunately I haven't had to use it yet.
