Sympathy Cards

Yesterday I posted a sympathy card I made.  Today I'm posting a couple more that are less elaborate.  I think sometimes that sympathy cards are the hardest to make as it's not the most pleasant topic, but I like to keep some on hand as this is one occasion you may have little warning about the need to make a card!  This first card is another one made with a tissue paper background.  A couple of border stickers and a message from Dazzles Gold Greetings makes a simple, but elegant card very quickly. 

This next card took a little more work.  I started with a lacey card from Paper Wishes.  I cut about 2/3's of the front off, then used a border punch along the remaining edge.  I then took a piece of golden glimmery cardstock cut to the size of the card and pasted it behind the little lacy flap I had created.  Another strip of the glimmery cardstock was punched to allow a ribbon to be threaded through it.  That added to the border.  The cross was cut from paper that looked like little quilted squares. An added sentiment and the card was ready to go.
