Hi! This card was made for today's Ways to Use it Challenge: Mad for Plaid.
It's been very sad today....Last night I woke up around 2AM and found myself crying...sobbing...I had no idea why, and I couldn't get back to sleep. I spent the early hours cleaning my house, with Speedy the Cat by my side. He even stayed close while I ran the vacuum at 5:30AM.
Then, I read a PM from Vicky Gould....Her husband had passed away at 2AM. Speedy the Cat jumped to my lap and howled. It was so sad. I love Vicky, and know that she is hurting. Please say a prayer for her today.
The pumpkin was stamped on Watercolor paper and colored with SU! markers. I used an aqua painter to blend the colors.
The plaid is a scrap of designer paper that was originally green and putty. I sponged colors on with daubers and added a few marker lines.

This is just fabulous Faith! Really gorgeous colors and I love that strip of plaid. I think everyone is truly saddened by this tragic news. My heart goes out to Vicky, family and friends!

I love Autumn colors and you present them so beautifully in this card. TFS.
It may seem strange to some that you woke feeling so sad at the same time your friend's DH passed away. I and other I know have had similar experiences. I will pray for peace and comfort for Vicky.
