For our anything goes challenge, I decided to make card I could have in my stash for sympathy or a general thinking of you. I did a quick bg with various greens and yellows and then removed color using a stencil made up of three sizes of circles. As it was watercolor i just took a damp paper towel and did my circles that way. I then painted some wildflowers in the foreground. That's it..I really like how it turned out.

Gorgeous and bokeh is the perfect choice for your challenge. I love your soft soothing colors and the watercolor affect. This is a card that can be used for any occasion but if you do use it for a sympathy card it will definitely bring a sense of calm and peace to the recipient. Happy New Year, Polly!

So soft and pretty. It would certainly make a great sympathy card. The combination of the wispy wildflowers and the softness of the white made me think of bog cotton growing on the mountainside here.

Polly, your card is fabulous! I love bokeh backgrounds! The colors are so cheery and your handprinted wildflowers are perfect for this card. Did I mention I'm recovering from knee replacement surgery. Hint hint hint LOL
