Oh my goodness, I was finally able to use one of the fabulous MFT
Wednesday Sketch Challenge #59 and post my card in time! I'm so excited to show you this card. It started out as a birthday card...at least, that was the idea. However, I had just been talking to my Mom and a friend of hers at the RV Park in Miami had just lost her Mother. That got me thinking about her and whether or not I should send a Sympathy card. So the card, very gradually morphed into a sympathy card. Thing is, the ladies is an avid sewer....like she did it for a living before she retired. After some playing and lots of doubt, here is the sympathy card that I came up with.
And, here is the inside....
It's definitely not a traditional sympathy card, but I'm okay with that. This card feels more personal. What do you think?

So gorgeous...I love it! Sometimes a non-traditional sympathy card is perfect...like this one. Lee-Ann :)
This is absolutely fabulous!!! I am loving the themed sympathy idea! Love how you added dimension to your spool. You go girl!

So beautiful! Love the colours and sentiment - much better than a traditional sympathy card!
