Friendly Sympathy

My friend Gladys lost a dear friend to illness. Gladys was a true friend, staying with her until the end.....even passing on two stampin events and that never happens :). We missed her presence with us!

I have been wanting to make a card to express my sympathy. The color's of grey (for sadness), Pomegranate (for love), and soft sky (for hope) seem to fit for a beautiful sympathy card.


I was able to continue to use my custom patterned cardstock that I made using the shaving cream technique.


I was also inspired by the following cardsketch at splitcoast stampers: #105
