Pals Paper Arts & Try Stampin' on a Tuesday ~ Thinking of You

Earlier this month my Uncle passed away and I have been wanting to send a card to my grandparents but just have not been able to get to a place where I knew quite what to say. This is their second child who has passed away (the first being my father 12 years ago) and now that I have children of my own I just cannot image the pain they must be feeling. 

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but last night I was finally able to sit down and make a card for them and I wanted to share it with you...

For this card I have used the sketch from Try Stampin' on a Tuesday and the colour theme from Pals Paper ArtsI am also entering this card in the anything goes challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More...
