Sympathy card

Hi everyone!

I don't know about you, but sympathy cards have to be the most difficult for me to make.  Obviously it's not a fun card to make, so, when I have to send one out I like to make another to replace it right away.  That way I'm not trying to make one in the moment if that makes sense.

Unfortunately and unexpectedly I needed to mail one of these out so I needed to replace it.  I always get stuck and run into a creative road block when it comes to sympathy cards.  So I usually like to start with a sketch to get things moving.

I used the sketch from this weeks challenge at Die Cuttin Divas:

and here's my card:


The pattern papers come from a Recollections stack called Garden Florals.  I used slate cardstock for the base and the mats for the pattern paper.  


I used the heart from Damask Decor, button 47 sized at 3".  I added some satin ribbon and a couple of Prima crystals.  


Both the front sentiment and inside sentiment come from a Stampendous set called Sincere Sentiments.


I love the colors and as difficult as they are to make, I like how it turned out.  

Have a great day!!
