Yesterday I shared a baby card made by Katie Carter. You can see it here. Today I’m sharing a beautiful sympathy card made by her mom, Brenda Carswell.

Of course, we hope we never need a sympathy card, but it is a part of life. Brenda wanted to make a card for a friend who just lost her mother.

She started by looking through the Designer Series Papers to find a design she liked. She settled on the Blooms and Bliss DSP. She originally chose the design on the other side of this pattern, but realized this side would actually be better for this card. It’s the one at far left in this photo:

The card base is Sweet Sugarplum card stock with a Rich Razzleberry layer and the DSP glued on.

The sentiment from the Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink onto Whisper White card stock, then cut with a die from the Layering Ovals Framelits. It is glued to the card front.

I forgot to get a photo of the inside of the card. She stamped a sentiment from the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set in Rich Razzleberry directly onto the card base interior. It’s the one at bottom right in this photo, that begins, “Praying for friends…”

Here’s what she used:
