tell me what do you think....
A friend asked me to make her a sympathy card for a dear friend of hers that she had been friends with since they were about 5. So many many years. Her mother had just unexpectedly passed away.

I love this card, and I usually don't even like brown. This may be a stamp I have to get. Go ahead and take the orders for sympathy cards. You seem to have a knack for it.

I think it's very sweet. Your poor friend :(
I bet she smiles when she sees it. Love what you did with her dress.
I think this card is absolutely wonderful! Beautiful colors, and the paper piecing is delightful. I love the lace you used, and the sponged edges give the card an elegant, toned down look! Your With Sympathy label is perfect with this Tilda. You did a wonderful job Lone...
This is fabulous Leonie! Sympathy cards are always tough to make.
Lone, you did a wonderful job on your sympathy card. I think the colors are perfect...very nicely done. I am sure your friend will love it.

Your card is perfect I love the brown tones and the flowers. Very nice. I know your friend will love it! Hugs Teresa E.
Yes a real tough request... I like that you didn't go for the obvious black tone. I think this properly conveys sympathy but with a lighter "with hope" feeling. Love your paper piecing. Well done. I am sure she is going to appreciate all the work you put into it.
Hi Leonie...beautiful card!! It's really a very, very lovely sympathy card. Pat Frank
Beautifully done for a solemn occasion Leonie. Tilda with Tulip was a good choice and love how you did the dress. Well done!

Leonie,
You have made a beautiful and tasteful sympathy card. The flower and swirl are just right, and Tilda is so sweet with her flower.
Hugs to you,

I think this card works perfectly Leonie. Great Job! *hugz*
Your card is so beautiful. I love the use of brown and muted green. You did a great job coloring Tilda.
Classy and elegant card for a difficult time.
