A BIRTHDAY AND 2 SYMPATHY CARDS

Hello fellow bloggers and friends.  I have been busy this week with making  Easter cards for the seniors at Quincie Douglas.  I am done with that and need to make a birthday card for a friend and I got a couple of orders for sympathy cards.  The birthday one was a piece of cake (no pun intended), however, I sometimes struggle with sympathy cards because of the nature of the occasion.  I want to be somewhat upbeat but also respectful.  I think I really like both of the cards a lot and hope the touch of bling is not too much.  What do you think?

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
