A Black and White Sympathy Card

When I placed an order last month I got a few cool stamps that, unfortunately, are retiring.  Bummer.  But I will hang on to a bunch as they are some that I really like.  I do have a bunch to give away to some lucky someone who places a $100 order (before ship/tax) through my replicated site (click on the side bar Be Amazing logo).  Remember that not only are the retiring items on sale for 30% off (as supplies last) but the Summer (Mini) Catalog is now available to order from.

Anyway, a friend and I both needed some sympathy cards so this is what I made:

The black/white pattern paper and the tree stamp are retiring.  The text is from the Sentimental Prints set and I also used some Pearls to embellish.  The  black/white ribbon is from my old stash.

Here's a better look at the pearls and the tree.  I also used my Journey Circles and Piercing Elements dies.  Love how this card turned out but I don't like making sympathy cards.
