The most difficult you will ever make

We know we all will have to make this card. It is not a fun card to make, so rarely we have one on hand. I know I only create them as I need them. I think it is because we create sympathy cards according to the recipients. I call these close to the heart cards. My brother-in-law lost his brother this week, so, I needed a sympathy card. I like these to be simple but touching. I love this layout as it can say many things, depending on the papers used. This is the card I made for my BIL and his familly.

I used the papers from New Horizon and the sentiment from my favorite SAB freebie. (The french version of Special Moments.) Card base is a standard 5-1/2 x 4-1/4; first layer is the backside of one of the horizon papers. I embossed the 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 Cinnamon cider cardstock with the splatters embossing folder and glued it at angle. Stamped birds and the Cat tails on the Horizon Paper and glued it at the opposite angle. The sentiment is stamped on white cardstock and cut out with the die from the Horizon dies. Cut another piece and glued offset behind the sentiment.

Please take a moment to comment on this post before hopping to Zoë Tant. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
