I really got down to it and finished organizing all the cards that I have in my stash to make them easier to locate in the moment and in doing so I realized that I didn't really have any sympathy cards. Like any at all. So I decided to make one up today just so I'm ready in case if I need to be.
I don't make many sympathy cards because I've been fortunate enough to not need them that often, so I was extra careful to make sure that I didn't make it too "loud" or "crazy" like some of my other endeavors can end up.
I'm really glad that I was able to find this nice sentiment stamp at Tuesday Morning not too long ago as well. It's nice and simple which means it can be used on a lot of different style cards.

I decided to go for yet another Christmas Card avoiding the green and red scheme and upped the ante by trying to use a blue for the base of the card that I usually under any other circumstance would deem to be more of a summer shade than a winter one.
I tried to tone it down a little by using the navy blue paper which I also knew would look good with the navy in the Merry Christmas sticker. It needed some more umph (it wouldn't be my card without it) so I used a gold foil heart and some pearls to give it texture and shine!
I really love how it turned out and I can't wait to send it off to some lucky person!
