My daughter asked for a few Sympathy cards, and I was at a little loss for inspiration. The color challenge helped me.
I did my colors as close as I could - the blueberry color is sponged all around the edges, I used the bermuda color on the leaves and used cherry for the flowers and stenciling.
For added interest, I popped up a few of the flowers and drew in some tears. A bit out there, but I was crying at the time and it seemed like a good idea. My daughter needed this for one of her Uncles on her Dad's side. Though I was no longer related to him, I loved this Uncle. He was so sweet and so inspirational.
Many hugz!

I love the fact you were able to add a part of your emotions to this card, Nancy. After all, our creativity comes from within. A beautiful way to express yourself with pretty flowers and leaves! ~Hugs

Great card for sad occasion. When we divorce it is more times then not the loss of family members, that we leave behind that makes a divorce even sadder. You can tell you put your heart in this card.
