Hard Cards

I personally think that sorrow/sympathy cards can be some of the toughest to make. I never want to go too "over the top," because I don't want the sentiment to be overshadowed by the card. Today, I thought I'd post a sympathy card to help any of you out who struggle a bit like I do with this style of card. The recipe for the card will be posted below the picture. Feel free to help me out by placing a link to your sorrow/sympathy cards in the comments.
