Fancy Folded Sympathy Card for Just Add Ink

Unfortunately I needed to make a sympathy card this week and challenged myself to try a new card fold shared by good friend Arlene.  I'm linking this to Just-Add-Ink #284 Fancy Folds.

I used Design Space to cut and score the card pieces and the Close to My Heart Artistry cartridge to cut the banner.  If you would like to use this file to make your own Double Fold card you can find it here.

     A Little Note
