Comforting Thoughts
Hand made sympathy cards are always hard to make. As you are constructing them you feel the pain and loss of the recipient. But it is important to acknowledge the loss.
This card with a Victorian feel will convey your thoughts. The card is navy with a white picture frame die cut. A light blue angel print is placed inside the corners. Out of a square white lacy paper doily fashion an envelope, trim the bottom flap with a pearl button and embroidery floss. The message stamped on a little card fits inside the envelope.
Inside the card, a sentiment is stamped on white and adhered to the card.
Another loss besides death is the person going through divorce. That loss hurts as much as death. And although it may be hard, it is so important to keep in contact with that person after the obligatory casserole is delivered.
That is why I am amused and glad to see the tradition lives in other places!
