Poster: hlr976

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! Thank you Emily for another super fun challenge!

These colors are always fun together, but for me today, I didn't get my mojo going all the way. My friend lost her dad this past weekend and I had to make a sympathy card. I'm not good with sympathy, so maybe that is why this didn't turn out 100%. The card itself is a pocket that is kept closed by velcrow on the flap and card. I used a bg stamp from Su, Old English Accessories from H&M Stamps (www.handmstamps.com ) as well as Generations of Stitches from H&M Stamps for the buttons...

Thank you all for looking and happy creating!
