Embrace Life Sympathy

It's unfortunate to have the need to make a sympathy card.



I used my new SU Embrace Life set for the images, and Close As a Memory for the Sentiment. The designer paper is Ginger Blossom. I think these colors are so beautiful, and I hope the receiver does as well.

Stamps: Embrace Life, Close As a Memory
Card Stock: River Rock, Naturals White, Groovy Guava, Ginger Blossom
