Hello! I hope you have all had a nice weekend! It was a cold one here for us, but it gave me a chance to do some things around the house - like finally get my Christmas decorations up! I also had a few craft projects I wanted to work on.
One of the projects on my to-do list was a sympathy card for my project manager at work. She recently lost her mother, who she was very close with. I made this card so everyone on our team could write a note to her. Our team is very close, and we are all hurting for her during this difficult time.
I got the idea for this card by doing a Google search and looking at images for sympathy cards. I found a card that used this same bird image and I really liked it. I embossed the background paper, framed the sentiment and popped it up, and added crinkle ribbon that I tied into a double bow.
I thought birthday cards for men were hard, but I have to say, sympathy cards are harder!!
Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
Recipe:

Oh wow, prayers for your manager. This is a lovely card, and I agree the bird is a great image for this type of card. I am sure she will really appreciate the words everyone has for her. (Love your new blog look too!!)
