This card goes to a special dear friend who just lost her hubby of 57 years. I can't even begin to imagine the loss & the loneliness she's experiencing right now. Thank the good Lord that she has a very supportive family surrounding her with so much love. She certainly has all of my prayers as she travels this road. I thank the Lord that He is with her to comfort her & bring her peace. "Cookie" was a very special man. Loved by all who knew him. "My Prayers are with her"
She loves butterflies so I made an attempt to create a card including butterflies on it. The florals & butterflies are from my stash. I believe they're by Brenda Walton. The sentiment was computer generated using the lovely Edwardian Script font & then cut out with my trusty Nestie oval & scalloped oval die cuts. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder called "Musical Flourish" & then distressed everything with DI "old paper". It has a hint of green in it that I just love. The green cardstock, pearls & ribbon are all from my stash. I used my FABulous Bow Easy to tie that sweet creamy bow.

What a beautiful card you have made. Sympathy cards are so difficult. 57 years together - what an achievement - but when that special someone isn't there after 57 years they will need family and friends. Thank you for taking part in the Aud Sentiments Challenge this fortnight and I wish you the best of luck in the draw. Best wishes, Kym (Aud Sentiments Design Team Member) xxx
So pretty, colours.Thanks for joining us at Dream Valley
