Glitz Paper Layers paper was used for the background and I added all the details around the two sweet little birds. The sentiment is from Stampabilities and sewing and distressing were done around the edges. A pearl flourish, ribbon, lace, button and twine finish it off.
I have had a need for sympathy cards lately so you will see several this week!
I am entering this is a few challenges:
1. Bunny Zoe's Crafts - ribbon/twine
2. Let's Ink it Up - distressing
3. The Squirrel and the Fox Challenge - things with wings
4. Allsorts Challenge - button and thread
5. Just Us Girls Challenge - sponge a layer (I sponged the sentiment layer)
6. Crafty Friends Challenge - use 2 diecuts (my sentiment layers)
Thanks for stopping by...have a great day!!!!

Joan, this is wonderful! I'm in need of a sympathy card today and this would be perfect!
Glad to hear that you were safe during the storm. I understand your concern with having no basement! When we have tornado warnings we all head to ours and hunker down until it's safe to come out. Hope you can figure something out for yourselves! Be safe my friend!

Lovely Joan! I like the paper and the ribbon on the card.

Thinking about a storm thing, in our garage that they can build, but for now it is in a closet under our stairs and the animals hate when I stick them in there :) Stay safe this T season. Your card is lovely, you make such beautiful shabby chic cards, just love the look.
