Sympathy Card

 Morning and a Happy New Year to you all and I have two DT card today the first one  is for the CAS challenge(chosen by me) at Pearly Sparkles and I had to make a sympathy card for  a sudden death of someone who you thought would go on forever. She lived in the next street but was one of the old school neighbours who always sat on her front step watching all the kids and telling off those who needed it right from when ours were all young and was always there when anyone needed taking to school.Still sat there in her wheelchair,she was one of those people who everyone knew!Poppies are a Memory Box die and the butterfly I found already stamped and cut out so just coloured with promarkers.I embossed lines on the white background strip using my score board.


Any challenges with digi image prizes I amjust playing for fun/and support as no printer!

Ook voor jou de beste wensen Carol.
Ach .wat 34g als je iemand moet verliezen, die zo dicht bij staat.
Je maakte een prachtige condoleance kaart voor haar overlijden.
Sterkte.

It's weird when a death like that happens Carol. So unexpected for someone who is such a big part of the community. People have been dropping like flies around here. Honestly every day you read about another one. So hard at this time of year. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and fingers crossed for a healthy new year for you and the family.
I absolutely love your sympathy card, very appropriate and very beautiful.

This is so pretty and I love the uniqueness of it. Great idea to use the butterfly to bring all the stems together.
