Sympathy card

I received sad news this week that my friend Beth who was my bridesmaid in 1969 lost her battle with cancer.   She was a wonderful lady and good friend.  I worked with her before and after my marriage and went to her wedding.  Her husband was a minister (not long retired) so they moved around a bit and I haven't seen her for many years but we kept in touch every Christmas.  Her husband, children, grand children and friends are going to miss her greatly.

I made this card to send to the family.


I have used paper from We are 3 Nature Blends Paper collection
Sentiment from We are 3 Itty Bitty sentiment set
Beccy's Place precoloured digital stamp Wild Rose (when you buy this stamp you received the coloured one, a black and white digi and 5 sentiments.

I followed sketch 323 at Atlantic Hearts challenge so I would like to add my card to that challenge
