One of my husband's friends and band members passed away on Monday after an eight month struggle with lung cancer. He was a big guy with an even bigger heart. Luckily I saw a post on facebook to realize that there was the visitation so that I was able to attend. I had some sympathy cards in my stash; however, I thought they were rather feminine. It's hard to know since the person who died is a man, but you are giving the card to the wife who is a female. I decided I wanted to make something with music on it since our husbands spent a lot of time together in the bands and performing musicals. I found that I had an already made tag in musical paper that was perfect and just stamped the sentiment from a Verve stamp. This is what I came up with.
Patterned Paper: K & Company
Cardstock: Recollections
Tag: Michael's
Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black
Spellbinder: Lotus
Flowers: Prima
Pearls: Michael's
Ribbon: Michael's
