Sympathy cards are not always the most fun to make but are so nice to have on hand. Our dear friend’s mother just passed away and I thought this card was just right to send to them. It is elegant and simple with some gold embossing on the front and the verse inside. Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set is retiring (only 7 days left to get it) and it is such a beautiful stamp set and perfect for those hard to make cards.
