Rose Sympathy Card

Evening Everyone,

I mentioned in my last post that as well as the usual birthday cards I had a couple of unscheduled card to make. Sadly, this is one of those cards .It's one I never expected to have to make, and one of the hardest.


My son-in-law's best friend of many years, Gordon, died on Monday this week. He did have a heart condition but was scheduled to have a triple heart by-pass operation later this month ... he was only 54 years old ... so none of us expected this. Sadly, he died on his fiancée, Debbie's birthday.  As well as being a good friend to my son-in-law and my daughter, he was like an uncle to my grandchildren. We will miss his gentle manner and cheerful smile always.


I made this card for Debbie.


Materials used:

Cream card base
Joanna Sheen's Jane Shasky, From the Heart of the Garden
DP from The Nitwits Heavenly Collection, from Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine
Stampin' Up, So Happy for You stamp set
Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad
White card candy

Goodnight to you all,

at

    Lovely card and just ideal. Especially sad day for Debbie as it happened on her birthday. My dad died on my birthday in 1989. Your lovely card will be very much appreciated.

    How very sad this is Elizabeth.

    I am sure that Debbie will appreciate the beautiful card you have made. Like you I find these cards very difficult to make.

    It always seems extra sad to lose someone when it is close to Christmas.

    Love Jules xx
