I knew I was wanting to use this set. This is for the wife of my FIL's friend and for my in-laws. Our family has been hunting in his woods for decades. He was also a very dear friend. He'll be sorely missed and his memory treasured.
So, I loved her blues (used different ones) and sponging. I wanted a subdued tone, so I used Crumb Cake for my sponging color.
I used the current sketch challenge for my layout, which is similar, but not identical to Jayne's. I liked how she had some lighter areas. I sponged a bit more, tho.

Beautifully done. A lovely sympathy card. I'm sorry for your family's loss of a friend. The stamped trees like woods are a thoughtful gesture for the connection between your families. Awesome coloring. Well done. TFS
