With Sympathy and Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #19

I don't know about you but I think Sympathy cards are one of the hardest cards to make along with masculine cards.  I had a friend this week contact me to make her a sympathy card.  She

said she would rather buy one that is HANDMADE than buy one from the store.

Once I asked her if it was for a female, then it became a bit easier!

I saw this card by Nerina and just had to stamp my flowers this way too! 

This card was made for the Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge and was hosted by Michelle S. 

Her challenge was:

1. Use a stamp/stamp set that is new

2.  A Product that is brand new and never used

So for my card, the "With Sympathy" stamp was new/never used and I used Soft Stone

cardstock for the base.  I can't believe I had never even opened this cardstock to see how subtle and beautiful is is.  I also used some new satin ribbon from Michael's too!
