I think as a card maker,one of the hardest cards to make is a sympathy card. Especially when you need it.
I love making cards for other's, to bring them joy and a smile. But with a sympathy card it's different. You just pray that somehow your card will bring them a little comfort in knowing you are thinking of them.
So today I am sharing with you a sympathy card that I made for a friend that lost her sister to Cancer.
I created this card using a digital image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I love that it already has the sentiment with it. The embossing folder I used is called Victoria.
Colored the flowers with alcohol markers and added a green sheer ribbon with a gold sparkle trim. Also added one diamond gem.

I agree with you that this type of card is hard to make. I try to make some and have on hand but that's not always possible. Your card turned out really pretty and I'm sure your friend will appreciate your thoughts and effort.

Gorgeous card Cindy. Thanks for reminding me of your blog name. I can't seem to find anything in my favorites; because when I changed computers, it made separate listings and messed it up. Now when I save someone's blog, it just goes into never never land. LOL! Love your coloring. Have a great day! Hugs, Gloria
