Fanciful Sympathy for our Pastor in Flourishing Phrases

We just found out that our Pastor has been diagnosed with Cancer and is at stage 4 in his illness, so I thought I would make him a card to show or love and support. We have a lot of Cancer patients in our congregation and he has been so good to the families,  breaking away to tend to them at a moments notice and leading us to the promise land when it is our turn to join the Lord. 

Little did we know that while he was giving himself unselfishly that he,  too will be walking the familiar path of so many others before him. 

This card was really difficult to photograph because it's not a normal run of the mill card. It has like a book spine. I was trying to capture the black shiny embossed sentiment,  the silver accent in the ribbon,  and the bling gems on the front of the card. 

The next challenge was holding the card just right so you can see the special folds of the card AND the greeting. Anyway,  hope I didn't miss anything...

Thanks for stopping by...

Greetings and inky hugs;
