Sympathy . . .

Hello my sweet friends. Sympathy cards are never easy to create . . . at least they're not easy for me. A couple of week's ago, a close friend of ours lost his father. I've been thinking about making a sympathy card, but just struggled and struggled. But, then, the inspiration came and here it is . . . today's Sugar Nellie DT card!


This sweet little Sugar Nellie image is "Dreamer" from the very talented artist, Leanne Ellis. You can find her HERE at Funky Kits.


I decided to do a monochromatic card, with just a pop of red . . . red and black and white just seem so elegant, don't you think?


My card "recipe" . . . 
Whisper White and Basic Black Cardstock: Stampin' Up
DPs: "Enchanted" by Bo Bunny
Dies: Cheery Lynn Designs
Scroll "doohickey" die: Magnolia
Sentiments: Love & Sympathy by Stampin' Up
Roses: Wild Orchid Crafts
Copics & Prismacolor pencils

. . . a peek at the inside. . .


. . . and a close-up of the sentiment . . .


And finally . . .


I've decided to enter this beauty into this fortnight's Wild Orchid's Challenge #46 . . . 
"Things with Wings" . . . 


And that's it for me. Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my latest Sugar Nellie DT card! Have a great week! Hugs . . . until next time!
