Sympathy card PS brushes

Hi Everyone, what wonderful wonderful weather (29c when I left work at 4.15pm) we are having, it was only last week I was cuddling up in our winter duvet because I was so cold in bed, British weather at it's best ay?  AND it's supposed to last all week whoopppeeeeee!

Lets go to the card, a friend of ours had passed on, so this was for her husband, makes one realise mortality, as he and I went through school together.

To put a bit of humour into this, my eldest brother whos is 77 when asked how he is, sometimes answers, "I have dodged the Grim Reaper for another day".  We have a sick sense of humour I'm afraid.

I had looked for inspiration on the web for a Kraft card as I haven't used any of this card before.  I saw one that made an impression while I scrolled through, and then couldn't find it again, so whoever you are, thank you. If you think it's you, please let me know and I can give you credit.

I used Textual Paper Pack by Linda Tieu for the background, then used Photoshop floral brushes and added a cross, also a PS brush glittered,  then made a border to match the background paper, printed it all out and added a velvet black bow.


I'm not entering any challenges as I have cased this card, not sure if it would be allowed.

    I always find sympathy cards hard but I think this is just perfect for such a difficult occasion.
