with sympathy

I had to make a sympathy card and kept it super simple.  A colleague's sister in law took her life and I wanted to make sure the family knew they were in our thoughts ... sympathy cards are never easy to make so I kept it one layered and basic.
I used PTI's Leave it Be stamp set with Pear and Tuscan Olive Fresh inks.  I just love the graphic style of this set - so nice and bold.
 The two toned stamping is so fun and adds a nice depth to a one layer card.
The sentiment is from the Peaceful Garden set - stamped in Turquoise Fresh ink.  I love the font on this one.

So what are your go to stamps for sympathy cards?
