The color challenge today used one of my favorite color combo's, but it was very hard to make a sympathy card with the items I wanted to use to keep it from looking like a Valentine card. I almost ditched this project, but I don't give up easily so I finally come up with something that suited three challenges and my need for a sympathy card. Red just was not suitable in my opinion for this occasion so I used a hand punch to get my tiny red heart. I only used one layer of black because I did not want it to look morbid. The mostly white card worked well with the touch of the other two colors.
This card was made for a lady (her family) that I barely knew, but the few times I talked with her she really made an impact. She was one of those people whose faith really showed through her wonderful personality. Her husband- not so much, but I am sure that God is still working in that area. I know He has worked on me through my acquaintance with this sweet lady. I hope that I can think of her, every time her dh purposely does things that upsets others, to help remind me how she would have handled things. Heaven really did get an Angel when she entered the Pearly Gates.
The SB Lace Heart dies, the ODBD Angel Wings and the SB Scalloped heart dies were ordered from Classycardsnsuch.com. The ODBD Layered Lacey Square Dies were ordered from ODBD. The bottom scripture was computer generated.
Thanks for taking a look at my card.

Oh my, this is so very beautiful and your story about this sweet lady touched my heart. This is really a perfect sympathy card using one of my favorite scriptures.
