It never rains but it pours it seems. Whilst we were having all the ensuing problems with the drains and internet I received a phone call to tell me that my cousins husband had died from a brain tumour.
When we had seen him at my Dad's funeral last September he had been fine but by December had been diagnosed and surgery done to remove as much as they could. We all thought he was doing ok so the phone call was a bolt out of the blue. Needless to say I didn't have a card made ready to hand so sorted through my digi files where I knew I had some ready printable images with words attached.
This one is by Pink Petticoat called Dandelion Wisps. I printed off and then used my pearlescent chalks to just highlight the centres of the flowers and the words. Adhered to a slightly larger piece of matching blue cardstock and then to the basecard. I printed off a second flower with no sentiment for the inside of the card.

This is a beautiful card but for such a sad occasion. What a shock that is when you thought he was doing well. I do like how you added the centers to the flowers and again through the sentiment. I love the font on the Condolences. It seems inappropriate to send a joke this time, so I'll send one next time.
Aww that's such a difficult time, but your card is perfect

I love this card, super CAS style and one of my favourite colours at the moment and a great image and
of course a really nice sentiment.
Have I got news for you, I am related to Chris Armstrong of Pink Pettycoat, her Grandmother was my Mother's eldest Sister. I have a photo of me holding her as a baby at her Christening. I thought her Dad was great.

What a lovely sympathy card, pulled together in a hurry. It certainly doesn't look 'hurriedly done'. Love the effects with the pearlescent chalks, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care. TFS & Hugs.
