For my card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamps image by Rebecca Sinz called "Despair". It is available as a digital stamp and a rubber stamp. I have coloured the image in with Promarkers. I have inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Old Paper distress ink. I keep my sympathy/thinking of you cards very plain and neutral as I do not think it's a respectful time for lots of colour and embellishments. It's just a personal thing I know.
The backing papers are from a Wellington paper pad and my beloved Tim Holtz paper pad which is slowing disappearing. I have used a Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die and cut some flowers out of a book and coloured half with a Sandstone Promarker and the other half with a Tan Promarkers. They are then scrunched and a brad added to the centre to hold them together. I have finished the card off with a die-cut sentiment tag which I have stamped "thinking of you" onto, pearls, crochet lace and some ribbon.

Great card, Kym! The image is quite poignant and I love the way you've kept the colours so muted. Fab use of the book pages for your flowers - just perfect for our theme this week at Passion for promarkers! Lisa x
Elegant and communicates your message Kym! I love your design - the triple mat for your focal image, the printed papers made into flowers, the lace - respectful and beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your project & creativity at our house!
