White Dove Sympathy

I'm so glad it's Saturday! DH & I are hanging out at home all day today except to go to dinner later with his family. As soon as I'm done with this post, I'm going to hide in my craft room & finish up some layouts that I've started. I just love lazy weekends!

Today I wanted to share with you a Sympathy card I made a while ago, but never really got a chance to post about it until now. I love the color scheme and layout, but I think the sheer white ribbon I used makes it look more like wedding card than a Sympathy card. I suppose I could make it a wedding card just by changing the sentiment. What do you think?

This was pretty easy to make, since there's not a lot of coloring to this image. I just outlined the Dove image with a gray Copic marker & used a Bic marker to color the leaves. I matted both the sentiment & the image first in light green cardstock & then again with gray cardstock and added a bit of sheer white ribbon to both pieces. Then I just assembled the card as shown on the cardstock base, adding some green brads to dress up the white cardstock a bit.
