I won an AMAZING gift pack from Kristina Werner and this lovely

Hero Arts set, With Sympathy, was one of the many, many

items that were in it.  So many beautiful crafting supplies.

I was a bit overwhelmed!

Thankfully I do not need a Sympathy card at this moment,

but the set was too pretty not to create with it!

My sister, Carol, who lived in Iowa, passed away unexpectantly last month.  

It was a shocking loss to say the least.  

I made this card for her eldest daughter, Robyn, my Niece.

These are the most difficult cards to create yet are the ones we need the most, 

especially when it is your very own loved one.  

I hope it conveyed a bit of what we all are feeling.  

  I used The Greetery Lily dies.

There was a 9 year age difference between Carol and I.

She was my 2nd Mother growing up.

Forever Loved....Forever Missed.

I think I was 3 1/2 here.

I do remember that top, it was Velour!  lol

Thanks for stopping by!

Love you all the more for it!

Simon Says Monday, Die Cuts.

Can You Handle The Pressure?, Fall--Optional Twist.

rather than a masculine one, but here goes.....

I die cut some feathers out of card stock,

I also added gold foil to half of the prayers die cut.

Gold Embossing Powder (sentiments).
