Hello crafting friends! I hope everyone is doing well. I created this sympathy card for two dear friends of mine; who lost their mother in early February. My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones. That is one of the hardest things we have to endure in life; losing a mother, father, spouse or child. I lost my father in 2009; and it is still hard to believe. My father was 90 yrs old and healthy; but he choked on a marshmallow; and died.
I decided to create a sympathy card with the CTMH "Wild About Love" stamp set. I love the little fox on here; especially this one with the flower. He looks like he could just step off the page and hand you the flower. I also used our NEW CTMH Ivy Lane paper; which is now my favorite paper pack in the new CTMH Spring/Summer Idea Book. My other one I love is the Balloon Ride. Such gorgeous colors. I hope you enjoy my card.
