In Sympathy

One of our friends from Iowa just lost her dad to cancer. I have followed my friend's journey on her blog, and ached for her as she watched her father die by inches. At the end, it was peaceful and fast, and he is now at rest, but my friend and her family are now grieving the huge void in their lives. It is times like these that I dislike being so far away from friends and family, for I wish we could be there to support them.


This sympathy card was part of a pack of cards I gave to my husband's grandmother as a Christmas gift. I used a design from Jen Sannes--I loved the oval and the basic layout with the pops of Marina Mist against the green. While this is not the card I am going to send my friend, it is on my to-do list for this week to make her a nice sympathy card. I'm a bit under the weather with some kind of respiratory bug, but I need to do this for my friend. Please keep the Johnson family in your prayers.

Supplies:
Old Olive cs/dp, Whisper white cs
Thoughts and Prayers stamp set
Old Olive, Marina Mist markers
Marina mist taffeta ribbon
pearls
ovals die
