Not sure this is where I wanted to go with this. I need some feedback. Is this okay for a thinking of you/sympathy card? We are sending cards today to John, Carlene's DH (chatterbox-1). She passed away on New Year's Day.
Please let me know what you think. I can scrap this and start again if you think I should.

A beautiful card that will reflect one of Carlene's passions-card making. It will not only express that John is being thought of as he mourns his beloved wife, but will express that this stamping community, that she was a wonderful part of and loved by, miss Carlene as well. Comforting those who are grieving by letting them know they are not alone in their grief is a great message to send. We lift each other up.

I think Liz said it perfectly. Your card is lovely with the hello sentiment. I'm just writing a personal message inside of my card. Just to let the family know how much she was liked. Your using of the colors for the stencil looks terrific. TFS

I love this card and I am sure John will love it as well. I am sure John is aware the effort that we all put in our cards and I am sure he will cherish this in honor of our sweet friend Carlene.

Well, my card is quite somber in comparison to yours. So, I say SEND IT as it will be great for John to receive cards with happy colors and upbeat messages as well as the ones like my mine. Beautiful stenciling and wonderful colors. It's definitely a keeper if, for some reason, you decide not to use it for this occasion.

I think this card is perfect. Grief is full of emotion, both sad and happy thoughts. I think it is important to have colour and joy represented. Not disrespectful at all in my opinion. This card puts a smile on my face. Great job on the stencils.

Definitely keep. It is cheerful but that is what we need after a loss of someone dear. Very cool stencil and colors. Beautifully done. Hugz
