WT545 Simple Sympathy

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

For Cathy's WT challenge this week ~WT545 Awesome Ombre .
Sorry, I just couldn't get a picture that quite captured the blue in this, and I have already mailed it out, this was the best I could do. I used a brayer and two blues (on regular cardstock, not glossy) to create the blue. Stamped the birds both on it and the base, added the blue strip and finished it off with the sentiment.

Sabrina, I agree with everyone - this is beautiful and sure to bring peace at the sight of these sweet sandpipers against the lovely ombre background (and with your comforting words inside). I love the colors you've used and definitely need to try this. Sadly, there is always a need for a sympathy card! Great challenge card today, sweet friend! Hugs!
