For the TLC today, we were to use our die cuts and punches. Mine is certainly not a cute, adorable flower or animal, etc. card like many I have seen today nor very beautiful like others I've seen. But, I need sympathy cards so I used a die cut ribbon holder and one punch for the flower and a punch for my sentiment.
Ran the ribbon holder through the cuttlebug and added pearls and ribbon. Scored the card on the top and bottom although it doesn't show.
My sweet, little pearls were sent to me in a RAK from Peggy-Sue. Thanks so much!

I have to agree with every one else. Sympathy cards are so difficult to make but this is perfect. Understated elegance! Very nice job Benzi! I also love you carried it through to the inside of the card. TFS!!!

Lovely sympathy card, Benzi. They are so hard to make aren't they? You've got the tone exactly right with this, and I love the little touches like the pearls and the embossed ribbon-holder. Beautiful!
