Sadly I had to make a sympathy card for my husband's best friend. His mother passed away yesterday. When I make a sympathy card, I like to keep it very simple. I had the idea of a tree. I put "digital tree stamp" into google search and it sent me to MS Mygrafico and a free stamp called "Lonely Tree" http://www.mygrafico.com/freebies/free-lonely-tree-digital-stamp/prod_2630.html I colored a little rainbow of hope in the corner of the tree to remind that love surrounds us all even in the darkest saddest times of our lives.
The sentiment says "Death leaves heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal." I also put a little angel wing charm on the side.
The paper is a prize that I won from my good friend Lisa at http://indymermaid.blogspot.com/. Thank you Lisa! Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me today. Hope you have a good day!
Hugs!
Beautiful sentiment and so true.
