White on White Sympathy Card

On Christmas Eve a dear friend of mine graduated to her eternal home with Jesus. She was a remarkable woman, full of faith, grace and courage, looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of her faith.

I put this insert into the card, sent to her sister, Joy:

A Picture of Robin

Joy, there is significance in the construction of this card made especially for you; it reflects some of the precious attributes that Robin carried.

·        White is for the purity of her heart, made clean by the shed blood of Jesus…

·        The embossed background represents the pressures of her life which made a lasting, beautiful impression on her soul of God’s handiwork in her life; there was no bitterness for the challenges she faced, but joy and forgiveness…

·        The lace represents her loveliness as a woman…

·        The glitter reminds me of God’s glory, which she always carried…

·        The flower is for the Secret Garden within her where she and Christ met for constant communion…

·        The butterflies are a reminder that Robin was a very, very free spirit, and that she has all freedom now…

·        And finally, the pearls represent Jesus, the Pearl of Great Price; she left everything she had to lay hold of Him (Matthew 13:45-46).


May this little card always remind you of Robin’s grace and courage.

This shot was an attempt to show the sparkle of the glitter, which my iPhone does not do very well.....

Romans 10:9-11If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT 


Acts 13:38-39"Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do."  NLT

  10. This is so beautiful. The die-cuts and embossing are all awesome! So delighted you blessed us with your project during our two-week Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. This week's Challenge is still ongoing and I hope you’ll join us again. Leaving you with God’s Word in 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 which says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:” Have an awesome New Year!
