With Sympathy

Hello stampers!

I hope you had a nice weekend!  Saturday was gorgeous here, Sunday was rainy and cooler weather has moved in.

Since it wasn't really "outdoors" weather here on Sunday, I spent some time making a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, FMS182.  This week's sketch is from Rita:
