Sympathy cards are difficult for me as much as I love the written word, I am always at a loss for 'Just the RIGHT one'. And with the last few I have made, I found myself wishing I had not even written on the inside. So this card is different, there is no inside! And the back is a beautiful stripe!!!
My base is a MME signature life,Her Cute Little Cowgirl country stripes/antique rose. Being double sided, it was easy to work both into my design. I stamped a Fancy Pants swirl (Alpha Chic) inked in Adirondack terra cotta on the base. My sentiment is a RiverCity Rubber works stamped in Tim Holtz distress walnut stain and embossed in clear ep. I filed and sawed the edges of both layers attaching them with a MM heart clip. The lovely tile middle layer is an unknown piece of scrapbook paper which I have carried to 4 citites now trying to find who made it as there is no name anywhere on the paper. I did scan this into my computer and print on SU blush blossom as I could not bear to use this up. If anyone recognizes this paper, I would be so thankful. This is only a small portion of the original paper...I used other tiles in a case of Joan Ervin on Jan 20 '08...check it out for the tiles...inchie cherubs...
This I think will meet Beates' and Sharons' challenge this weekend. Thank you so much for looking...

This is so pretty Susan. I love the colors and the cool mating of your sentiment. I agree that it is the thought of sending a card~ not so much our words that touch the heart of a hurting person. You do such beautiful work.
