I used Snowdrops digi stamp from Doodle Pantry and printed it on Kraft CS. Colored it with Prismacolor pencils and went digging through my papers to find the perfect ones. Finally I settled on these Basic Grey papers from Origin collection.
I used a Sympathy sentiment from Pasque flowers set - I wasn't sure if Snowdrops are the right flowers for Symapthy card, for me they feel like a symbol of hope, something new - but then I thought they could symbolize that even after a big loss there is always a hope, life and promise of something new... one door closes and another one opens.. Hope I'm making sense ;)

Alica, your card is very pretty! It is hard to say what is and what isn't proper on a sympathy card. But, I feel if it is from the heart then anything you put is right! Hugz
