Well, just returned from vacation in Vegas & CA to find that the first card I needed to do was a sympathy card for my brother-in-law and his family, as they lost his mother last week. So, I decided to combine today's sketch challenge (SC229# and yesterday's color challenge #CC219) at SCS. I used watercolor pencils for the digital stamp last night and allowed it to dry overnight before putting the card together today. Cuttlebugged the coredinations paper and added some subtle gold highlights to the flowers and around the image panel. The inside top is covered with the flowered wallpaper to cover the brads and to brighten it up a little. The inside sentiment is "May your love for each other help you through this difficult time." tfl

There must have been something about this sketch and that embossing folder! Sorry you needed to make a sympathy card so soon after your vacation, you did a great job though, the colouring looks great.

Sorry you needed a sympathy card, Val, but this is really beautiful! The colors are so pretty together and your coloring is wonderful! Very nice design! I am sure this will be greatly appreciated by your BIL and his family.
