I had a lot of color inspiration this week...I was bound to get it right! My card will fit the following challenges:
#1. DD9ABC7G - Alphabet Challenge, Round 9 - 4/4/18 - Color Letter G - Golden Yellow, Golden Brown. Double challenge = gems. I've used lots of pearls.
#2. WT688 - Ways to Use It challenge - "Spotlight on Silhouettes" - 5/17/18. Make a silhouette the focal point of your card. My focal point is the Black flourishing flower die-cut.
#4. IC652 - Inspiration challenge - "Caron's Beach House." I used this: https://www.caronsbeachhouse.com/gol...ints-set-of-4/ for my color inspiration and the type of watercolor background I wanted to use. I loved the look fine mesh coral...reminds me of a watercolor bg!

Oh, Carlene, I am so sorry for yet another loss! I read your blog post, and you've had a lot of losses in your family lately. But what a gorgeous card to send, and it's beautifully framed. I especially love this die cut too. Stunning! Tender hugs and love! xoxo

This is such a lovely sympathy card and very appropriate for a man or a woman. Your silhouette image is gorgeous and really shines with the water coloring you did behind it. I also love the postage stamp die you used here too. What a fabulous card for all the challenges. It is unfortunate we have to make sympathy cards, but this one is so gorgeous it will be very comforting to the recipient. ~Karen.
