Sympathy Card

Hello.  We are one week into 2018... only 51 weeks left :-)  

I'm sharing a sympathy card today.  I started with a copy of hymn.  Color was added using paint, the center area is just a wash and then heavier color on the edges.  The "rays" are done with paint and a stencil.  The flower and oval shape are die cut with Tim Holtz dies.  The sentiment is a stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs.  

This is a wonderful hymn!!!  Truly.. what a day that will be!!!  

The words to the hymn are:

There is coming a day,
When no heart aches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forever more,
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

There'll be no sorrow there,
No more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain,
No more parting over there;
And forever I will be,
With the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be
