These are the hardest cards to make, knowing that the recipient is hurting. These are also the most rewarding cards to make, because you hope that it makes someone's day a little brighter.
I have a super simple sympathy card, using some of MFT's November Release....
First, I did a little ink blending with Tumbled Glass on the card base. I added in the birch Solid Birch Trees in a light gray yardstick, then added the Birch Tree detailed dies on top. I love that extra detail with the subtle color popping through. I stamped the sentiment in black and then added in a vellum snowflake.

I tried to take a good photo of the snowflake because just the ends are dusted with glitter. I did that by adding some Tombow Tape Runner adhesive to the ends, and then dipping each one in glitter. This picture is a tad darker, but I was able to get some of the sparkle....
This is it for today! I hope you are all ready for December. It's gonna hit in just a couple hours. I can't believe Christmas is almost here! Thanks so much for stopping by!
