With Sympathy

Hi Everyone,

Sadly, I was in need of a sympathy card and didn't have one on hand.  I have a simple, go to card design, but I've used it so many times, that I have no idea who I've sent it to in the past.  I chose another easy to replicate design in a neutral color, but I feel like the browns may have been a bit drab. More depressing, than soothing.  I'll choose a soft green or blue next time for my monochromatic sympathy card. 

The background was stamped using the Silhouette Branch and the sentiment is With Sympathy

  I mounted the greeting on some black cardstock and used a border punch and a row of gems to add some interest.  I also added some matching twine before I attached the greeting to the card. 

Not wanting to be stuck without a sympathy card for next time, I took inspiration from Lisa's beautiful card here, and made one for my stash. It's not as pretty as hers, but the recipient won't know that! 

Here are the stamps I used for this:
