Sharing in your Sorrow

sharing in your sorrow2

I’ve had this idea in my head for a couple of days, looking for the image that would fit the card, I knew how the finished layout would look but couldn’t fit the image, then whilst tidying my craft room I came across the stamp set Hopeful Thoughts from Stampin Up

sharing in your sorrow1

It has been a while since I had stamped and embossed so I really enjoyed doing this, not a Copic or Promarker in sight.

Oh Jak, it is beautiful, as you know I'm using a lot of the "in sympathy" cards of late. I think I will try coping your idea...
Thank you for the inspiration...

Such an elegant card. It would be a comforting card.

How wonderfull that you have used stamps on this card. I enjoy all your work,but I am an addicted stamper,so prefer this to digital images. Love black and white cards as well,so I am a happy little stamper today. Thanks.
