Here is my card for the sweet LYDIA, our new QFTD this week! I 'kinda' cheated when I cased her card, cause I don't have pastel pencils, but loved the look of THIS CARD so I tried to duplicate it with my prismacolor pencils - turned it sideways and made a sympathy card also! love the way the flowers 'brighten' up the black and it still has a soft touch.
Congratulations, Lydia, you are the BEST - thank you for all you do and all the inspiration, humor, fun, and excitement you add to SCS - we definitely loveyameanitbye! HUGS!

I didn't have the pastel pencils either so I used pastels....at least you used pencils! Whatever the method, your flowers turned out great and I like the way you echoed Lydia's color choices...this looks really pretty with the Sage base and strip!
