Tonight I needed a sympathy card for my depleted stash. This Faith Bird Stamp from Crafter's Companion is one of my go-to images for sympathy cards … it includes both a lovely image and soothing sentiment that makes for easy card making.

I used the lovely colors from this week's Inspired By Challenge using papers from Fancy Pants Park Bench Collection & PaperTrey Ink's Smokey Shadow cardstock.

The layout is this week's CAS(E) This Sketch.

So lovely. What a sweet stamp. And I love your colors. Love what you’ve done with the sketch too. Bev
This is so very pretty! Thanks for playing at Inspired By.
Nice card! I like the stamps, colors and how you have used the sketch. And it’s true in re to a sympathy card or any day … the birds do sing their song in the dawn before dark. I hear them everyday outside my window. 🙂
Ooops. I mean in the darkness of dawn. 🙂
A very lovely sympathy card.
