Using the above sketch from Splitcoast Stampers, I created two sympathy cards. One is slightly more masculine than the other, but I think either one could easily be given to a man or a woman.
The idea for the clock as the shape of the tree top came from a card I saw made by Melissa Phillips. I was so inspired to "attempt" to use her idea on my card.

Vicki, I think these are both lovely...and both very gender neutral.
