Here is a sympathy card that I made yesterday following the passing of my brother-in-law's partner's mother who had been suffering with Alzheimers for a long while.
I normally buy my sympathy cards but saw this Cd over at Kraftyhands, and also saw some samples on Linda Simpson's blog and just felt that I had to have the Cd for those difficult cards that we all have to have/make at some time or other.
I used an 8x8 scalloped card blank. I matted a piece of the backing paper onto silver mirri and also one of the toppers onto the silver mirri. I took one of the sentiments into Paint and removed the printed sentiment . I then took this into Craft Artist and added my own sentiment - On the loss of your Mum - and matted this onto silver mirri. In the bottom left hand corner I placed three cala lillies and added a purple bow.
In the inside, I took a plain insert from the Cd and placed this on the left hand side and one of the inserts with a verse and placed this on the right hand side. There are two verses to choose from in each of the colourways as well as the one without a verse.
I added our names to the bottom of this.
I apologise for the poor lighting in the photographs but I was in a hurry to get this to Brian and Bridie and it was already dark when I took the photographs.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-

wow beautiful card & such detail. Sympathy cards are so hard to make, i`m sure they will love this card xxxx
This is a lovely card, Wendy...I'm sure your family will find it of comfort at this sad time.
Sympathy cards are always difficult to make, aren't they. (I found out last night that a friend's Dad passed away last week, so guess what I will be making this afternoon).
Thank you for joining us at Penny's Paper Crafty, and good luck in the draw.
