A late post tonight. It has been a very exhausting day. There was a lovely service today for my Father-in-Law, 4 hours to Ottawa and 4 fours back. Athough my husband and I and our in laws live in Toronto, his homestead is in Carleton Place a little town just outside of Ottawa. I want to send a sympathy card to his surviving sister, but taking it with us today didn't feel quite right. I will send it so she can appreciate it next week once things slow down again. The Dynamic Duos colours this week allowed me to create a peaceful and serene sympathy card.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: White, Ripe Avocado, Spring Moss
Stamps: Sending You, Turning a New Leaf
Dies: Peace Be Still
Impression Plate: Woodgrain
other: foam dot, black Sharpie

These are always such hard cards to make. This turned out beautiful.
Your card is just beautiful! I think sending it is a good idea. Long drive and tough day, get some rest.
Sending love and prayers to your family. I'm sure you are exhausted. This card for his sister is so soft and serene. I'm sure it will be very appreciated.

What a beautiful sympathy card. Sounds like it was a very tiring day.
Tracey, You are a real sweetie! I know you have heartbreak of your own, yet your thoughts are with your sister in law. What a beautiful card made with so much love! Thinking of you! Hugs!
It's a truly lovely sweet card, Tracey, just mwah for the situation. She will treasure it. I'm very sorry about your father-in-law.
This is so lovely and peaceful, Tracey. It's a wonderful use of the colors, for a beautiful sympathy card. I am sure it will be much appreciated after a little time has passed.
It is definitely a beautiful sympathy card. I love that the woodgrain is embossed in the green. I have been thinking of you a lot during this difficult week.
This is a very soothing sympathy card. I am sure your husband's Aunt will love it. The colors are very serene. I am sorry for your family's loss.
The wood embossed background is the perfect touch! Sweet bird!
