With sincere sympathy

Hopefully this will be the last sympathy card for a while.  This one was made for my sister's friend's father.  She wanted something a little masculine.  This card went together very quickly with minimal stamping.  There is the phrase on the front and then a longer sympathy phrase inside.  I always enjoy putting metal accents on guy cards because I think the metal is very masculine.  (even when it's delicate and decorative like this finial is)  Besides the finial bar I also added some brads and metal dots.  I coordinated the brown polka dot paper with brown polka dot ribbon.  The mattes that the phrase is printed on and mounted on are from Spellbinders.
