There has been another death, our friend has lost his Dad. Because all his sisters and brothers live all over the country and the traveling with Covid problems they have decided not to have a funeral for him, that is so sad to me, I know how much he loved his dad and so many prayers are going his way as he gets through this time of loss.
The dry embossing was done on foil cardstock, then clear embossing ink rubbed across the panel, then I added a combination of copper and gold embossing powders and heat set them.
I will be adding this to the Sisterhood of Crafters blog challenge which is embossing.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Wishing you a good and safe week ahead,

It is so sad that this lovely man will not have a funeral and all his family cannot say their goodbyes. COVID has changed our lives, hasn't it. I must say your card is beautiful, Connie. A picture of praying hands always brings thoughts of comfort and peace. Those beautiful hands against the foil cardstock are beautiful. Your friend's day will be blessed in this overwhelming time, when they open their card and see the beauty of this card and the lovely sentiment.
This is beautiful Connie! I love how the heat embossing looks over the dry embossing. I've never tried that before. Stunning results!
So sad! Your card is beautiful and I'm sure will bring great comfort! Difficult times we are living in right now! Prayers to the family!
A sad time made more sad by the COVID situation. I'm so sorry for your friend. You've made a beautiful card to let him know you care.
It's never easy to say goodbye and now Covid has taken all of that away from us. It is sad. This card will let them know how you feel. It's beautiful and lovely! (((hugs)))
I was so engrossed in this gorgeous card for your friends that I totally forgot to thank you for sharing it with us over at The Sisterhood of Crafters ... Good Luck!
sad to hear about the story of your friend dad death...I am sorry for your friend....
# Love your card
Yes, here in the UK the rules about funeral arrangements who may attend, numbers etc have all been changed again. It doesn't make it easy on family/loved ones who are doing their best to arrange a funeral and say their goodbyes. COVID has certainly changed our lives.
Your card though is beautiful.
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
in these times of covid, not having a funeral is common, but still very sad. yesterday, new jersey tightened our restrictions...i am sure non-essential businesses will go next!!
the card is beautiful, i like the message, the embossing is gorgeous!!
I had the same situation with my Mother-in-law who passed last May month during pandemic and it was really sad...That card is great and blessed.
*Correcting: passed away.
Oh, so sad, Connie, especially that the family can't gather to commemorate his life. Your card is lovely and will bring sweet comfort. Sending hugs x Karen
This card is stunning! I'm sure it brought comfort to your friend and his fmaily. Yes, funerals are always difficult but even more difficult these days. My best friend's daughter lost her husband, (this was when we first heard about the pandemic, they did have a funeral, but there was a sign there about no touching. Normally I would have hugged my friend's daughter, It was difficult not to be able to do that.
Your card is perfect for this very sad occasion. The embossed panel looks amazing.
Me again! I'm back for The Sisterhood of Crafters. The embossing on this card mixed with gold and copper is just stunning! What a beautiful and thoughtful card. Thanks for joining us at TSOC. Best of luck to you!
