I made this card for a good friend whose husband tragically died suddenly this week. He spent so much of his time volunteering to help others, left this world far too young and will be missed by so many people.
I used my favourite flower die, Memory Box 'Prim Poppies'. The background panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' embossing folder. Three lilac pearls finished off my card.
I used snippets for this card, so will be sharing this card over in The Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges:
You used a favourite poppy die for this beautiful card Liz.Thank you for your kind words and support.

Always so sad when someone dies suddenly. Sorry to hear you needed a sympathy card, but this hits just the right note Liz.
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground (and for sharing a picture of your snippets). See you up in the treehouse for a soothing mug of hot chocolate later - I'll add a nip of something to it for the shock. xxx
A very tasteful card for this sad occasion Liz. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a great die cut. It has been years since I have used it. I recently got many of my die cuts organized and now I can find this one quickly. I need to pull it out and play with it again.
ReplyDeleteLove this super CAS card! Great to have some texture aswel! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful card for a very sad time. I'm sure your friend appreciated your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHow sad and difficult to understand when someone should have had many years more of life. These die cut poppies are perfect over the pretty lilac embossed swiss dots background Liz. x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card but such a sad reason behind it, but I am sure it will comfort your friend. Every time I see you use this die, I think I must get mine out ...
ReplyDeleteThis is so delicate and pretty. That is such sad news and I am sure such a shock for his family and friends.
ReplyDeleteHow awful for your friend Liz, I'm sure she will appreciate your thoughtful and beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Liz for such a sad occasion - the poppy die is one of my favourites and perfect for this type of card.

A lovely card Liz for such a sad reason. That 'Prim Poppy' die is just timeless - I actually recently bought one as part of a future prize!
ReplyDeleteInitially I did wonder your card was for Zoe (Young-Kirby) before I read further. I have a feeling you met up with Zoe at a Bristol Rovers match once some while ago. Her lovely son, Keagan, aged just 25, was killed the weekend before last during a horse race in Kent. Right now we seem to be surrounded by tragedies.
Hugs

It was so sad to hear about Keagan. Zoe and I have been friends on Facebook for some years and met up at the Rovers ground. I’ve been following Zoe’s posts about Keagan following his dream to become a jockey. It was such devastating news to hear that he had been killed in a tragic accident. xx
