I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I find making sympathy cards the hardest. I generally try to make a few ahead of time so I have one when needed, but I happened to be out, and unfortunately I needed one. This weeks challenge is to make a card using stripes so I used this challenge to help me make this card. I feel that sympathy cards should be simple, so this weeks card has no bells and whistles, no pop ups, no shakers, just a little bit of shimmer to the dragonfly wings and the words.

The card stock is from Stampin Up and is listed below, the paper is from a paper pack from Hot off the Press. The green paper for the leaves is from my scrap bin.
I cut the patterned paper into strips that were 5” long and but random widths.
My plan was to adhere the strips in rows onto the Wisteria Wonder cardstock leaving a border around the strips, BUT while working my way from left to right I ended up with an uneven side. So I trimmed the whole piece down to 4 3/4” square then layered that onto a a Night of Navy square, then onto a Wisteria Wonder square then, onto the card base. (Dimensions listed below) I think I like it better with the stripes up against the Navy as apposed to the Wisteria Wonder.
I cut out the pieces listed below. The tag is from the same paper pack as the patterned paper.
