With Sincere Sympathy

Our Ass't. Manager at work and his wife just lost their cat.  "Buddy" has had a heart condition for years and has endured a lot of testing and trips to the hospital.  This caused him severe breathing problems.  Saturday night they had to take him and have him put to sleep.  I know how difficult it is to lose a beloved pet.  Vicki doesn't have children and Buddy was her baby.  I made them this Sympathy card.

The inside reads:  When a beloved cat must leave us     ... it is only to lay in God's lap.  

I also printed this poem out to include in the envelope.

I only hope that they can find some comfort.  

I used the new sketch from Gina K. and her resist emboss technique from her video this week.  This is most definitely a case of C.A.S.E.  You can see her card and her video HERE as well as the DT cards.

Lindsay's Stamp Stuff - Thursday

Yep  ... it's that time!  Thursday with a new Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Card

When I need a Sympathy Card I really struggle with making one.  So I always keep an eye out for an image that can be used for a Sympathy Card and try to always keep a few on hand.  Lindsay has this new set called  "Many Blessings" that was perfect for several different occasions.    You can find it at mygrafico.

I watercolored the image and kept the card very simple.  mygrafico is having a 40% off SALE for one day only so it's a great time to get your stamps.

Go and see what the rest of the Design Team has lined up for you today and stop by Lindsay's Blog.  She always has beautiful projects and a freebie for you.

Sympathy Sentiment

Miss Daisy added a Sympathy Sentiment stamp to the store and I added it to the inside of the Sympathy Card I made the other day.

Here is the front of the card:

Please excuse the pic...I am having camera problems..lol  I thought this sentiment was perfect for the inside.  I think it could also be used as the focal image on the front of a card.  I will have to give that a try.  You can see this stamp at Daisy Doodles Stamps or purchase it HERE.
