My supply of sympathy cards is always short so when I saw Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge #39, I was happy to see it was to make such a card. Thanks, Joanne.
Stampin'Sisters in Christ challenge #73 was given by Linda Lucas to do a vintage style card/project
Simon Says Stamp Challenge-Bingo-- What a fun challenge using the Bingo board shown below:
My card is using a flower from Mark's Finest Papers Apples and Camellia stamp set. I stamped twice, cut out, and glued the two together for some depth. I used a gold leafing pen to go around the edges.
The piece I embossed my sentiment on is a Spellbinders Pierceabilities die and I love it. I cut out the die, pierced, and sponged the heart while still in the die.
I added my lace, crinkled ribbon, a pearl and it is all finished.
Recipe:
Stamps: Mark's Finest Paper-Apples and Camellia, Stampendous-Encouraging Words
Paper: K&CO paper pad, PTI cream cardstock, Stampin'Up! Chocolate Chip
Ink: Memento Desert Sand
Accessories: Spellbinders Pierceabilities ric rac scalloped border, lace from Jo-Ann's, crinkled ribbon, Queen & Co. pearls, sponge, Krylon gold leafing pen

This is so beautiful and comforting! I love those soft colors, lace and paper piercing. A perfect sympathy card! Hope you're feeling better soon! It's going to be a balmy 28 degrees here today - spring is coming :)
Love the gold leaf pen edge on the flower, Benzi. And the lace is so beautiful, too. I know what you mean about not having anything exciting to share. Most of my days are that way. ;D
Hope you're feeling much better now, and that the sun comes out for you soon! Beautiful card, I love how you used your pretty lace
