Sympathy Card

I (unfortunately) had to make a Sympathy card this week and I just found out that I have to make a few more :( I tried to make it sorta manly because it's going to a man! They all seem to be so "flowery" and I tried to keep it simple and masculine.

I used some new Basic Gray paper that I had recently acquired. The stamp set is from Stampin Up called "Close as a Memory" and I used Black Versafine ink for the sentiment. The blue paper is Baja Breeze by SU.

The yellow circle reminded me of a sun, maybe even a rising sun ... because there is hope even after you lose someone close to you...

Thanks For Looking
