So, I know I'm not the only one that has trouble with sympathy cards. One of my husband's coworkers lost her husband recently, and a teacher as my son's school lost her home to fire. I was challenged to make a card that was thoughtful, pretty and somewhat solemn. There is this fine line between beauty and cheerfulness that we try so hard not to cross when making this type of card. I am happy with my results. I made 5 of these and a week later I only have 2 left.
The bird stamp is from unique boutique and the sentiment is computer generated and reads:
When the future seems overwhelming, remember that it comes one moment at a time.
I am in love with this sentiment. It is appropriate in so many situations. I hope you like this card and it inspires you to create something today!
