My brother recently lost his wife quite suddenly and unexpectedly! It was a shock to all of us. I wanted to send him a Thinking of You card to let him know I'm keeping him in my prayers and thought each and everyday!
This is a CASE of a card designed by Liz Thayer for her class that I attended way back in the fall of 2013. It has been lurking in my "To Do" stash of partially completed cards needing to be finished. I made some of my own modifications and changes to enlarge the card, add a bit of sparkle, and change the sentiment as well. I added a new Natural Ivory card base plus a dark brown glitter mat layer to the already existing Crumb Cake mat layer and my card became a thinking of you card rather than a thank you card. I also decorated the inside and added my own computer-made verse.
I'm really pleased with the added layers and glitter paper. It really dressed up the card a lot. I think my brother will be pleased with his card and really like the inside verse, as it fits the occasion perfectly. Take a peek below at the finished card inside and out.
