Unfortunately, there are times when we need a sympathy card to send to friends and family. In the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks set (page 47 Mini Catalog), there is the perfect mask for fall sympathy cards.
When designing a sympathy card, think about the current season and try to match multiple (but soft) colors or go with a single color, whichever you prefer.
Try this card idea for a fall sympathy card or switch up the phrase for any other occasion you may need.
