LOVELY AS A TREE SYMPATHY

Made a card for another friend going through a rough time. 
It seems like a lot of uncertain items are going for a lot of people,
so I hope that this card finds them a little bit of comfort and thoughtfullness.   
I got the idea from a card that I printed a while back. I think it was from Splitcoaststampers.
I hope you enjoy!
