Very Simple Sympathy Card

Hi Everyone !!!! This is a first for me. Having my own blog. How exciting !!

I always wondered how to make one, finally did it. I'm testing it out, by posting

a very simple card.

This is the fastest card that I have ever created. I needed a quick sympathy card.

I used an A2 card from "winter" selection, from Joanne's. Embossed with the cuddlebug.

Sanded it lightly, to give it the destressed look. Added a computer generated "In Sympathy"

Glue dotted the flower, added the ribbon to match.

Thought it turned out really nice, looks like it took some time to make. Could do it for

any occasion.

Love the pre-folded box of cards, comes with envelopes. The colors are fabulous !!
