This card was done combining two challenges. Color Challenge was Pretty in Pink, Going Gray, and Sage Shadow. I love pink and greens together, so I was excited about this combo. The other challenge was a sketch challenge from Midnight Madness. You can see the sketch here:
I created this card for a friend of mine who is going through a difficult season in her life, so I wanted to create something simple and soothing. I hope I captured it in this card. I used a background stamp on the pink card stock and used corner round punch to soften the edges.
Enjoyed both the challenges, let me know what you think. TFL.

Hi Barbie...I see you are still doing some more challenges!!! They can be so addicting can't they. I love it! I have to say this is such a graceful and elegant card. The image of the woman in reflection is outstanding and has sure captured the mood you were trying to achieve. She is going to love this. I like your interpretation of the sketch as well with the round corners. It gives a lovely feel to the card. I very much enjoy your work. Thanks for playing with us again this week. Hope to see you next week with this challenge and more challenges here on SCS.
Hugs,
