Jar of Flowers - Sympathy Card!

It's always good to have a sympathy card on hand. The Jar of Flowers stamp set combined with the Butterfly Gala stamp set were the perfect sets to design a thoughtful sympathy card! Just added a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (one of my favorite sentiment sets) and you have a card that should lift the heart of anyone.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  I love to share my designs in hopes that they will inspire and help others to create cards!
