I just love everything about this card, she does such amazing work with dies, she is the reason I am hooked on Memory Box dies, if you look through her blog she does such wonderful scenes both with dies and her stamping, always gives great tips too. Hope you get the chance to sit down and just have a look through her blog.
My girlfriend lost her brother a couple days after I saw Kittie's card and I thought that would make a nice design for a sympathy card.
I inked the embossing folder with Distress ink and then embossed it to give it the black background.
Paper Studio -- A2 Quatrefoil embossing folder
Martha Stewart -- Border punch
Stampendous -- Sincere sentiments
Memory Box-- Fabulous Philox die (a little inking around the flower with the black soot ink)
Poppy Stamps -- leaf sprig die
Distress ink-- Black soot
We had freezing rain last night but this morning it is warming up so it is just regular rain, guess they are getting snow north of us, cold week ahead, counting down the days until spring.
Wishing you all a very safe and warm weekend,
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Connie

This is lovely! Sympathy cards are difficult to make in the first place simply due to the circumstances, but then to make it elegant yet simple and heartfelt is really hard. Your card is all of these: elegant and heartfelt and not overdone.
A really beautiful card and very elegant too. It is so appropriately pretty.
