Musical Simple Sympathy

This card  was made in memory of a High School friend and her daughter who were tragically killed last week.  

I wanted something personal that related to both of them.  I met my friend during marching band and her daughter was accomplished in her school's chorale.  I didn't want it too heavy with black so I used one of the school colors of purple for contrast with the white.

I hope it gives some comfort to their family.

Sympathy - the card I never wanted to make

Sympathy cards are hard at the best of times. This wasn't one of them. I took inspiration from Lindsay's Frugalcrafter tutorial on painting bamboo. 

This was for the family of one of our dearest friends who was also a black belt at our karate dojo. I hope it helps his family know how much he was loved by his friends.
