I needed to make a sympathy card for our dear neighbor "Grandpa Willie" who just lost his wife "Grandma Jean" this past weekend. :(
They were married 55 years!!!
Thought I would try the color challenge to get me inspired...and distract me from the fact I am making this card for such a sad reason...
Thanks so much for looking, this is my 2nd color challenge - geez, it was fun!

Now this is a beautiful card! I love the design - very elegant and what a sweet gesture. It is certain to be a little ray of light at a very sad time in your friend's life.
gorgeous!

Congrats on getting hooked on the color challenges. It's a great way to get started. So is the Sketch Challenge.
You obviously put a lot of thought into this card, your friend will be very grateful for it, I'm sure. It's so hard to lose someone you have been with for so many years.
Awesome card. Love the photo corners and your color choice. Your creative punch work looks fantastic on this card. I really like the word punch and brads attached to your layered dp. This is such a wonderful card...your neighbor will appreciate your kindness and thoughtfullness when he gets this card.
