A Sympathy Card

It was a tragic beginning to the week with the news that a teacher, coach, athletic director at our local high school at died suddenly at the age of 43.  He had been a student of mine when he was in high school, and I enjoyed seeing him in his adult role with young people.  His mother is a friend of mine, too, and I used the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge to create a sympathy card. 

It was my first use of Altenew's Leaf Canopy stamps and dies package.

I'm sorry about your young friend. My own son is older than that. Truly a tragedy. You've made a beautiful sympathy card, and I know how difficult that can be with the recipient so close to you.

Sorry to hear this news. As a teacher, I imagine you have seen your share of those who have passed away.
The card is elegant. I had my eye on this stamp. Lately, ferns, leaves, wildflowers seem to be used a lot and they can be used for such a sad occasion.
