A Simple Sympathy Card

This week the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge is to go "Back to Basics".  Create a project without using the Cricut.  Well, I do my Cricut and all the wonderful things I can do with it.  But, there are also many more ways to create something beautiful.

I have a friend who's dad died earlier this week.  Due to not being able to leave school to go to the funeral, I have been anxious to get her a card in the mail.  This is what I made.  And I did it without the Cricut.
I used a Martha Stewart border punch with the beige paper.  The bird border strip is from K & Company.  At the top of the card I stamped "You're in my thoughts".   This is from a Scrappy Mom's Stamps set.  This is truly a very simple card.  And yet I think it is beautiful, elegant and thoughtful.
