SU Stippled Roses Sympathy...

 

I haven't used a Freshly Made Sketch in a very long time,  but I do go there often to see the beautiful cards.  To be honest I haven't made a card in quite awhile.  I've struggled with my eyes for a couple of years now, and have had three surgeries.  I also have multiple myeloma, which is uncurable only manageable so there are ups and downs with that, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak these days.   My energy level and eye sight are good right now.  In my browsing around for a sketch to make cards for the ladies in my local swap group I came upon the current sketch at Freshly Made and it caught my eye (pun not intended).   From time to time my SU demonstrator and special friend  (her family-my family) was clearing out her stash and I fell in love with the Stippled Roses (so vintage).  Immediately I knew it would be perfect for this sketch.   I tweaked it a bit, but you can still see the intended design.   Everything is SU and the sentiment strip is from the current "Happy Hibiscus" collection.   The sentiment was created in a label program on the computer.   My card really speaks to my heart and although, if you're like me you don't want to ever need a sympathy card, you want to send one that will perhaps comfort and encourage the recipient.    Thanks for looking and may you seek Jesus' comfort in your times of sorrow and pain.   He cares about you!    Smiles,   Kathy
