For today's Color Challenge, CC111 - VT Sympathy. I colored the petals of the flower with Pumpkin Pie, highlighting sections with Bravo Burgundy, and colored the stem and leaves with Always Artichoke. I misted the stamp with water and then stamped the image three consecutive times on Whisper White cardstock. The edges of the flower panel are sponged with Bravo Burgundy. I inked the background panel is Well-Worn Words inked in Pumpkin Pie and Bravo Burgundy inked around the edges. It was then stamped on Whisper White. Wanting for depth to the panel, I used a sea sponge and sponged Bravo Burgundy very lightly over the entire panel. Once that was dry, I sponged the edges with a little more Bravo Burgundy. The sentiment is stamped in Bravo Burgundy and the edges are also sponged and the panel is mounted on dimensionals.

Sherry, I knew your card was going to be awesome when I clicked on the link. Wow, I wasn't disappointed...this is absolutely gorgeous. The flower petals remind me of tears falling. Well-worn Words is just perfect for a sympathy card.
