This week I had an order for four sympathy cards. My card today is one of them.
My card base is Gorgeous Grape. The TIEF is similar to our Swirls and Curls but I believe it's a Darice folder. The oval mat is Pear Pizzazz. The flower image from the retired Love & Sympathy stamp set is inked up with Pear Pizzazz and Gorgeous Grape Stampin' Write markers. We made this card at Barb's over a week ago and I just finished the inside today.
The sentiment is from the Dear Doily stamp set. Making sympathy cards is never a pleasant task but we all know it's one of those things in life we can't escape. Speaking of escape, here are pics of mine yesterday with family in Estero Bay and Estero Island!

| Lobster and Shrimp Fettucine with the best garlic bread ever! |
We did see a dolphin going after a jumping mullet but he was off in the distance and it's practically impossible to capture them in a photo. My brother, sister, sister-in-law and my son finished off the day with a wonderful dinner at the Fish House. My lobster and shrimp fettucini did not disappoint. It was a great escape!
Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow.
Pretty card! Looks like you had a great time with your family. :)
