Deep Sympathy - Mojo131

Well...unfortunately I'm in need of a sympathy card today. One of my friend's mom passed away last week. She had been battling cancer for seven years and her time had come. My friend and her family were able to be there with her and from my understanding it was a very peaceful moment.

I wasn't able to make it to the funeral but I still wanted to send a little love note their way so I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch and made my sympathy card.


This card I feel is perhaps a bit unusual or out-of-the-box for a sympathy card but it is very me.
I think it's upbeat, which is exactly what I wanted and has a touch of playfulness or freshness to it. I hope it's going to make her smile! :)
I used the Textile Embossing Folder by Cuttlebug on the white background panel.

The Flower pattern was actually stamped using Verve's Wishful Elegance set and I added little rhinestones to the center of the flowers because I felt like there was something missing.

The sentiments on the front of the card and the inside are both from the Essential Sentiments set by MFT. I absolutely love the font and it adds so much to the overall feel of the card!!
The borders around the sentiments are both from the Waltzing Mouse set Label No.4.


Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a Happy Monday!!!
