A Sad Occasion - 2

This is the second of four sympathy cards I’ve needed to make the last couple of weeks. This is the hardest of the ones I’ve made, because it’s for my friend who has now become a widow. It is really sad for me to now think of her in this manner. She is only about four or five years older than I am, which isn’t really that old.

She loves African Violets, but I didn’t have any, so I hope she will enjoy these pansies just as much.  They are by Fred She Said.

 

 

The background paper is done with an embossing plate by Cheery Lynn Designs that has been rubbed with distress ink. Inside I’ve used MS punch-around-the-page, pansy punches.
