Sympathy

I know this isn't a cheerful way to start out, but...

This is the card I made for the young man my husband worked with that passed away this week. It had to be big (8.25 x 5.25) so everyone would be able to sign it. There are two white pannels on the inside so there is plenty of space. The young man's family speaks very little English so I asked one of the women at the Cafe to help me write something appropriate in Spanish. The sentiment in English means "With Respect and Fondness."

Both patterned papers are from Chatterbox. The ribbon is May Arts. The brown and white cardstocks are Bazzill. The brads are American Crafts. The font is Teen Light - Regular. I also chalked the edge of the sentiment with French Blue chalk ink from Clearsnap/Colorbox and the sentiment is raised on dimentional tape.
