Supplies: Silhouette Blooms I and Cheesecloth Backgrounder (CHF), Barbedor Script (Ma Vinci's Reliquary), Clearsnap chalk ink in creamy brown, chestnut roan, dark brown, Nestabilities classic oval dies, copper brads.
I made the frame for the sentiment just by putting two Nestability dies into my die cutter at the same time, one inside the other. I hit the two copper brads with a ball-end embossing tool and hammer to make them look more like rivets for the frame. I wanted to use antique copper really but I can't find them at the moment! I think these look OK, though.
Thanks for looking, I hope you liked the card.

Lovely card Joanne for a difficult subject. It's very classy.
This card is lovely, so elegant and you are right when you find out you have to make one that is that last thing you want to do
Ok now that is just GORGEOUS...but you know me and BROWN CHALK INK.!!!
Yes, classy was my word for your card, too. It made me smile to picture you bashing your brads with a hammer lol.

Such a grown up card Joanne. The colours are very calming.
It is indeed a very beautiful Joanne, for a very difficult subject......
A very subtle and classic design for what I agree is the hardest kind of card to make... The Nestabilities add the perfect touch don't they? :o)
Very pretty card!!!Ilike all the background layers.
Beautiful card, just what a sympathy card should be.
Love the tones in this card, great to see a sypathy card that incorporates more that just a bunch of flowers!
Oh this is just gorgeous!
Sympathy cards are so difficult aren't they. This is simply beautiful Joanne.
Your card is beautiful! Your brads came out awesome so I think your method of making them look aged is spot on. :)
Mary

Admittedly not a card I keep on hand. Stunning creation with the lovely ovals and riveted brads! TFS :)
