I have had to send a disturbing amount of Sympathy cards lately and my supply is depleting rapidly so when I saw this http://www.flickr.com/photos/ruthbleakley/3282287418/ it was the perfect inspiration. The stamp is from inkadinkadoo that was on 'give away' at Mikes (2 bucks..go figure) I couldn't leave it behind. My story and I am sticking to it. In keeping with my New Years Resolution the textured cardstock is another 'old' item that I need to use up from my stash and of course the linen background stamp from 2006! Yikes. I love buttons and have collected a ton of Mother of Pearl which I guard jealously but decided to part with this one because it was going to a good cause. The outside was sponged with cobblestone.

This is lovely! I too need to replenish my stock of sympathy cards. So...into my favs with this gem to be cased shortly. :-) That pearly button has just the right shine for this beauty of a card. TFS

What a great sympathy card. I really like the paler stamped feather and then the stronger colours in the cut-out one. And the combination of Linen with the textured card is spot on for the inspiration, too.
