Sad need for sympathy cards in my office lately and difficult to find words that are suitable. The inside sentiment is from SU's renewed Faith and reads:
'Wishing you and those you love renewed faith and hope in Christ'
I cannot think of more comforting words, or a more clear truth.
This Penny Black image was a gift to me from Michelle (Shellapoo) and was done in black EP and watercolored and cut out, and framed in a nestie, surrounded with silk leaves. The hardware is from Clear Dollar Stamps.
Thanks for looking.

This is just beautiful, I agree it seems like you have needed a lot of sympathy cards and if this the case, I am sorry too. This card is sure to bring some comfort to the person that receives it.

Pat you are the LAST person I need to tell that the way through it is through Our Lord and Master. What you have created here is a beautiful presentation for someone who is morning the loss of a loved one and giving them glorious hope to hold to in their time of sorrow. How much more special can that be? You are a wonder Sistah. Very touching card!
