I needed a masculine sympathy card so decided to go with this week's sketch again -- great sketch -- but this card is nothing like I envisioned when I started. But, it's done and I need it, so I'll use it.
It is DTP'd with white craft ink which gives it a rather cold and frosty look, which is certainly not what one would want on a sympathy card, but it doesn't look quite as cold IRL as it does in this photo.

I did that 'nothing like I invisioned when I started' for the IC challenge today.
I really like your colors on the under panels and the sentiment placement. TFS!

I think it's beautiful and very appropriate. Really nice colors and, rather than make it look cold and frosty, I think the craft white just sort of softens it. That's a really nice and comforting sentiment, too.

What a great balance of masculine and sympathy! These are probably 2 of the hardest cards for me to make, so you get a HUGE HIGH FIVE for a super job! Keep up the great work!
