Sympathy (sadly the photo is a little bit blurred)

Hello Folks

I know, I know back before you expected it but needed to complete this card quickly as it's a sympathy card sadly.

I have used white card stock to make the square card, Maja Design Plommonkaka double sided patterned paper, Maja Design Soders Hojder double sided patterned paper, Coredinations Purple Grandier card stock, Bazzill Basics Glass Slipper, Spectrum Noir Pens numbers FS2, FS3, TN2, PP1, GB8, GB101, TN7, 0, DR1, DG2, PL5, Lace with Velvet Ribbon, Pearls, Flowers, Bobbin Pins, 3D Foam Pads, Doily, Tim Holtz Paper Distresser and of course the lovely rubber stamped image from Crafts and Me called Veil.

Hope you like this, sadly my hubbie thinks the image to be too provocative for a sympathy card but I think he is wrong, she carries a cross in her hand and seems a little sad to me but perhaps you views would help, until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol
