Still trying to complete a few of the sympathy cards I need. This is for our DIL's Mom who just lost her mother.
Love this week's sketch challenge - thanks Roxie for your dedication to getting these challenges posted for us!
I see I'm still a bit stuck in the blue tones but apparently those are the colours that 'speak to me' right now. And I always thought green was my favourite colour. Colours used are Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze - coloured the image with an Aqua Painter.
Pretty straightforward layering; a little bit of inking on the edges of the white layers; Versamarked the long narrow strip on the right with the leaf image from the Natural Beauty set; used Swiss Dots ef on the Not Quite Navy panel; Versamarked the Script bg stamp on the main layer since it was still out on my desk from my Pounded Posies card. I am so ribbon challenged... A few stickles on the flower centres - maybe should have left that well enough alone... Wanted it flat for mailing so no pearls or rhinestones.
Thanks for stopping by! Always appreciate your comments...
Punch tally: None! GASP - I'll have to punch something on the inside layer I guess?!?!?!

P.S. BTW, anytime you want to translate the En Francais b/g stamp, please feel free to do it, since it doesn't appear to be my forte to read French!! LOL!

That is a good sketch, and you worked it very well. I'm likin' those shades of blue. Seems appropriate for a sympathy card, too. I have that Natural Beauty set, and I thought I recognized that flower!
