Today is my turn for the ODBD blog post and I decided to make a *Sympathy* card with the beautiful new released *With Heartfelt Sympathy* Set.
I know we all struggle on what to say during these very difficult times when a loved one, friend, family member or neigbor has passed. I personally never know the right words to say......and lately we had to say goodbye to a few friends :(..... Now I don't have to figure out what to say anymore - because Kelley released these 3 beautiful Sympathy Sets. Now I can tell the mourning family that I care and think of them!!!
With this card I decided to keep my focal point on the image and sentiment. I added some *Faux Stitching* and *Scoring*. The edges of the Bible Verse were distressed.
The colors I used are - Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango and Chocolate Chip. The Design Paper is from the Frosty Day Collection .
Thank you for stopping by again!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
ETA: I totally forgot to mention that the *Faux Stitching* was inspired by this weeks Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C5!!! Sorry!!!
