Hardwood Love & Sympathy Card – Stampin’ Up!

It’s always difficult to have to make a sympathy card, this one is going to a friend who recently lost her mother.  My friend is an outdoor person so I thought that the Hardwood stamp mixed with the flowers from the Love & Sympathy stamp set would be perfect for her.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #128.
