Let Your Light Shine Sympathy Card

Happy Friday everyone!  I have the first of several sympathy cards to share with you today.  I made this one for my son-in-law's mother and brother after the loss of his Dad.  It really was one of the hardest cards I've ever had to make.  But, it didn't take long to decide that a lighthouse was perfect for this one because the Bible verse on the front really reminded me of how my son-in-law's Dad lived his life.  He was such a wonderful man!  It's so sad that in the end, he was so depressed, he just couldn't seem to see any hope.  But, I digress.  Here's how the card was made:

Size:  4 1/2" x 6 1/2"
Card Stock:  Bazzill, American Crafts
Patterned Papers:  DCWV (Dots, Stripes and Plaids Stack)
Lighthouse:  Wall Decor Cricut cartridge cut at 4"
Background Label:  Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge cut at 4 1/4" (I think) and then embossed using the Swiss Dots folder in my Cuttlebug
Butterflies:  Martha Stewart punch
Daisy border punch:  Martha Stewart
Blue chain border:  Martha Stewart Double Edge Bangle Chain punch 
Pearls:  Queen & Co.
Sentiment:  Computer generated using Tabitha font and then cut with a Nestabilities Die


Hope you like it.  I was very pleased with the end result.  I love these colors together.  Click on the photo for a better look.
