I have had to make a lot of sympathy cards here lately, this time our good friend lost her Dad, it was a hard road for him, he had been in and out of hospital and rehab centers and they thought he had finally come through and then went down hill fast.
I did a bit of ink smooshing onto water color paper, then stamped the flowers. I added some stickles to the flowers since the detail of the stamping wasn't so good on the watercolor paper.
- Unity Stamp - Insightful Meadows stamp
- Stickles - Diamond
- Taylored Expression - Care & Comfort II sentiment stamp
- Ink smooshed on watercolor paper for background
I would like to share my card with the following challenges:

So beautiful, Connie!
Such an elegant sympathy card, dear Connie. The sentiment is beautiful.
I know Connie, I've had to make quite a few sympathy cards lately too. You've done a beautiful job with the watercolor, so pretty. It will be a blessing to her!
I'm so sorry to hear that you've had need of so many sympathy cards lately. You're so thoughtful and loving with every card you make. This one is lovely! I especially like that sentiment.
I'm so sorry about your friend's dad. So many losses. I've used up the last of my sympathy cards, as well. Your beautiful card is thoughtful and kind with a lovely sentiment. Your friend will appreciate it.
A heartfelt card...Just wonderful.
What a blessing, no matter how small, to receive a handmade card during a most difficult time. Your card is quite beautiful.
Making cards like this is always difficult, but you've done a great job and it will bring a lot of comfort.
I'm sorry to hear that you have alot of sympathy cards to make. This card is so very lovely. The blush smoosh looks so pretty with the silhouette of flowers on top.
Beautiful card, Connie xoxo
So sorry for you and your friend. (((hugs))) This is really beautiful! Love the ink smooshing, so light and lovely. And the silhouette florals are perfect!

Your card is lovely, Connie. I'm so sorry about the circumstances. Even when it seems inevitable, it's never easy. You've done a great job making this look special while not looking too "happy." The blue background is really nice. That sentiment is perfect too. Hugs to all of you from all of us at Word Art Wednesday.
