Sympathy card for Dale

My baby Sis's partner, Dale, lost his Mum at the weekend and  I have been kept busy trying to help them
 as they are also in the process of moving house.  
(There's never a good time for anything stressful to happen is there!)
 Today was the first opportunity that I had to make a sympathy card for him and his family, and here it is.


A very CAS card - colour combo Basic Gray and Whisper White.
A circular stencil was cut in a sheet of acetate and the shape was ink dusted in Basic Gray Ink.
The branch was then stamped in the circle in Basic Grey as was the sentiment -
 both from the Hopeful Thoughts stamp set.
A tiny pearl was then stuck in the centre of each little flower.
