A Single Bird...In Sympathy
I make so many sympathy cards - but usually they are for our church card ministry and I don't know who will be receiving them. It's easier that way. Yesterday I had to make a card for a wonderful woman whose husband passed away unexpectedly in his sleep last week...at the age of 40. How do you make a card for that? I wanted a very peaceful card - with a single bird...but was completely stuck after that. I turned to the Less Is More challenge for help and it was the perfect inspiration...
The memorial service was yesterday...such raw emotion...Heidi, you are in our prayers...
What a beautiful CAS card. Its just a shame its needed for such a tragic loss. My thoughts are with Heidi.

ReplyDeleteOh how tragic Kim, I will keep her in my prayers. Your card is just lovely, very peaceful. LOVE the little bird perched on the branch!

ReplyDeleteWhat a difficult card to make Kim. This is beautiful and I'm sure would have brought solace to the family. How tragic to have passed at such a young age!

This is beautiful, Kim. So sorry to hear of such a loss! It's never easy even with an older one and always that much more difficult to understand with the young! I hope she finds true peace and comfort in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous Kim. It is so perfect for a sympathy card for such a sudden, tragic loss when there is nothing you can really say but to offer prayers. I am so sorry for your friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is pure CAS. I love your design!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sympathy card - how sad for your friend and am sure this gorgeous card will bring her comfort.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shocking thing to happen. I'm so sorry. Your card is exquisite and so poignant and so perfect. In fact, all your cards are right up my alley! I'm so delighted to have found you!
ReplyDeleteHow sad, Kim! Such a perfect card for the occasion. I feel for you all! Hugs xxx
