Until We Fish Again...

Today I'm sharing a special sympathy card I made for our 94 year old neighbor, Mr. Frank who passed away on Sunday.

For his memory card to his family I selected Penny Black's Dropping You a Line.

 After stamping the image on 110# Neenah cardstock, I also stamped the shirt part of the image on a scrap of blue plaid for paper piecing. 

I used Copic markers for the coloring, then secured the plaid shirt in place.  The sentiment was computer generated and all the pieces were die cut using Pink & Main's Stitched Rounded Rectangle dies.

I used a Kraft card base cut 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" and then cut the blue mat a half inch smaller.  After securing it to the card base, I added the other layers as shown.  I used a black heavy thread at the top fold, wrapping three times and adding a fish hook charm at the knot along with a few loopy strands. 

Until we fish again Mr. Frank ~
