I still can't keep up with my Sympathy card stock, so I needed to make another one today. It was tough to come up with a sympathy card with these bright cheerful colors. I combined the challenge with Lori's (LMcAree) "Birds of a Feather" Falliday Fest challenge and decided that this digi from From the Heart Stamps would make a really nice Sympathy card. The sentiment is also part of the same digi. I changed the coloring to navy to get my navy in there. And I printed the sentiment on this pretty Core'dinations DP that I don't think is quite the best match for Bermuda Bay, but I tried! I'm very happy with the calm and soothing feel that I got with this card. Thanks, Robin and Lori, for a great challenge!

What a stunning sympathy card this is. You have used this week's colors brilliantly in this lovely image. It is a shame we need so many sympathy cards these days, yet know that this one will really touch the heart of whomever you send it to. ~Karen.

Sounds like there has been a lot of sadness in your life with all the sympathy cards that you have made. : ( This is lovely with the sweet bird sitting on the flowering branch. You used today's colors so well.
