Hi! This card was made for today's Clean And Simple Challenge: Sympathy.
I wanted to use this image because I think that Speedy the Cat on the fence just looking into the distance is fitting for a sympathy card. I know, when my mother was able to visit, Speedy the Cat would sit with her and just watch. He is always calm around her. It's as if he knows just how ill she really is.
I think Lois, aka Clownmom, uses this image with Flower Soft. (I'm pretty sure it's her...) I love the Autumn color of Flower Soft. It's really perfect for this tree.
This was a quick and easy card to create. I stamped the image in Adirondack's Espresso. Next, I glued on the Flower Soft. To finish it up, I used the Copic Airbrush to add in color.
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete: 13 minutes
What a beautiful scene. I love the flower soft and there is something touching and sweet about Speedy looking off into the distance. Perfect sympathy card.

A gorgeous CAS sympathy card, Faith. That autumn-y Flower Soft looks fantastic.
