Today, I am sharing a sympathy card that I made for a very special lady. She died recently in our nursing home after living there for 8 years. Her husband came everyday to visit her and help her with her lunch. She had Alzheimer's Disease, so she slipped away from him and the family little by little. I had the privilege of playing organ at her funeral and wanted a very special card to take with me to the service. Here is what I created, using an Imagine That! Digis by Kris digi:
I used the beautiful Poppy file and colored it with Copic markers. It also comes in a pre-colored version if you're short on time. The sentiment is from Sentimental Thoughts set, and is thoughtfully (pun intended) included with the Poppy file.
I used 2 sets of papers on this card -- 2 of them are found in the Freda's Flower Basket set (top 2 papers pictured below)
The green polka dot paper is from the Sunshine & Rain Digi Paper Pack.
I cut the center step card out on my Silhouette Cameo using a file from the Silhouette Design Store. The butterflies are dies from Cheery Lynn.
