This week at
it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "I'm So Sorry" which means she wants to see those sympathy cards.
This is what I did....
I usually do sympathy cards in white and gray or similarly muted tones but fellow Girlfriend, Imke, once commented that she likes to make sympathy cards more colourful so I thought I'd give that a try, and imho, she's right, using colours on a sympathy cards absolutely works.
Flower digi is from Beccy's Place and the sentiment is from MFT.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

This is beautiful in it's simplicity.
ReplyDeleteI am going to remember what your friend said. It's a sad enough time so why not give some subtle colour?

Such a lovely card!! I like to make my sympathy cards in color too. Sometimes I even use bright colors-especially if it is someone that I have been close to. Thank you for playing with us this round at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.

Sympathy cards are never easy to make and you've made a lovely one here, Jan. This is an excellent digi, I realized when I saw it that I had used it on a sympathy card, too.
