The challenge was to make a simple Sympathy Card
I tried out Pat's fluid chalks, I like the mellower colors they produce. They don't stand out as much as the regular inks. So they are more fitting with this type of card. Oooooops no xacto this time!!!

Yikes!!! No blades!!! But you have done marvelously with the manly punches for the card edge. Bubba this is a very sensitive, caring sympathy card. I love the design, colors and most of all the sentiment. Fantastic job Brudda!
