Hi, all! My sweet friend Linda lost her husband very suddenly…she is devastated, obviously. I wish my blog friends didn’t live so far away! I am hoping this card brings her some comfort. I didn’t want it to be dark and somber, and I thought these papers from BoBunnys Pincushion collection were sweet:
I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge:
and a sentiment from Thoughts and Prayers. I added a scallop, a remnant of a doily left from another project, and I used a circle punch to punch out a little heart from a scrap left from the background. A narrow black grosgrain ribbon finished it off.
It was the annual “ throw the pumpkins out in the woods” event:
First, we saved a few seeds from some of the pumpkins, then hauled them out to the woods in the garden wagon:
She could only toss the little ones, but she did pretty well!
Your card is just perfect! It is really hard when physical distance keeps us apart, but in your heart you are keeping her close and that is what matters. ~chris
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful sympathy card and I know it will touch her heart.
ReplyDeleteIt always so good to see Cassidy spending time with her Grampy and doing the "everyday" chores which I'm sure are more "fun" for her.
LeAnne, this is so pretty! I am so very sorry for your friend. I know this beautiful card will be treasures because it was made with love! XX
