A2 Cards I embossed the stencil onto 24 lb Beckett Expression Radiance Text paper for a deeper image. Then I swiped Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Ink on the back of the paper so the ink would seep through to the front, creating a softer pink coloring. Then glue the text paper to cardstock for better paper strength. One embossing on the 24 lb paper made fronts for 2 cards.

I have had this poem in my heart for over 35 years and I thought it would make a nice Sympathy Card. I used AL Heavenly font...Appropriate, I thought!
The poem reads:
The Pleasant Mile
People come into our lives
And walk with us a mile.
Then because of circumstance,
They only stay a while.
They serve a need within our day
That moves so quickly by.
Then are gone beyond our reach.
We often wonder why.
God only knows the reason
That we meet and share a smile.
Why people come into our lives
And walk with us a mile.

I have had this cardstock, literally, for-ev-er! It is not even made anymore but I always loved the color and the deeply embossed linen textre. I would bet that Bazzill has something similar.
