My dear friend...HUGS



I was asked to make a condolence card for one of my dear friends who recently passed away. This card will be passed around for several people to sign and then be given to my friends sister. 

My goal was to make something elegant and hopefully something she would have liked. I think she would've liked this one. What do you think? 

On the card base, there is a script talking about our God. On the top layer, I used an embossing folder for that deep impression of roses and is raised for dimension.  To add just a hint of color, I added a sheer pink ribbon with a double flower on the one end. I chose the color pink as she often wore a particular pale pink blouse and it always made her face just glow - pink looked so good on her. On the bottom left corner it says: Praying for you

The inside was made simple but with 3 pearls and a touch of pink (gem stone) so it would resemble the front in some way.
It reads:
(left) With Sympathy 
(right) May the love of God grant you peace, the love of friends bring you comfort, and the love of your dear one live forever in your heart. 

You will be missed by everyone, my friend. With love and hugs. 

Hope you like and thanks for looking!
