I tried to use cardstock as close as I could to the present colors.
I made a Z- fold Condolence card for a friend who goes to rough times...
Made a trio of flowers and stamped the flock of birds on the right side of my card.
The sentiment translates more or less as : "Only few words apply in a time of sadness and pain. We hope that this card will be a sign of condolence."
For further embellishment I just used an iron Colibrie, on the front frame.
symbol for lightness, love and resiliency

Oh my, Niki, this is gorgeous … love your z-fold card. The beautiful die cut borders, the colors, the floral is beautiful, and love the flock of birds, and then topping it off with a metal bird...everything about it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
Justcame back to look at your card again, and I know I made a comment on how beautiful this card is; but it doesn't appear on your post. Love that you incorporated the twist of "anything wings" and joined us at Double Trouble. Please come back with more of your projects. Ooops, just saw it on Page 2, but you deserve another comment on your gorgeous card.
