Condolence Card

Hello dear blog friends. This is a card I did not want to make. Sadly on Thursday afternoon my friend died.

My Card

 I used SB M-Bossabilities to emboss a piece of white card and matted this onto pale gold pearlescent card and then onto a 5 x 7 inch card. The dies are SB Diamond Strips and Accents and Radiant Rectangles. I computer generated the sentiment and die cut it with the smallest die from SB Detailed Scallops  The cala lilies, pearls and ribbon were from my stash. I made two cards but John preferred this one . I will show the other in another post.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

    Hi Christine, I hate having to make these, because it always hurts a lot. Sending you love and hugs, you lovely lady. It is a really beautiful card and your friend would have (a) loved it and (b) been proud of you for managing to make it. Hugs Karen xxx

    Magnificent, Christine. It's so hard to make sympathy cards, but when it's someone who was a friend, it's nearly impossible. In any case, I'm so glad you entered it our "Sympathy or Thinking of You" challenge this week over at Perfect Sentiment. Please play again soon. :-D
