So a former colleague of ours lost his mom and I was asked to provide a card that we could sign as a group. Even though I had made a few sympahy cards to keep on hand recently, it happened that the sentiments on them all had "me" or "I" somewhere, so it was not really working for a group card. I came home and looked through my Pinterest sympathy board to find something I could whip up together quickly. This card was adapted from a design from Lynn Weiss. Lynn's original card was nice and soft and had touches of soft blue on it. I gave the main image two tries, trying to achieve a similar look, and finally decided mine would be darker and that would be it. Those lovely flower silhouettes are from More Petal Prints, one of the first stamp sets I bought from a minicatalogue back when I started stamping and they are still one of my favorite flower sets after ten years (and heaven knows we've had our share of flowers since!!).
