A friend asked me to make several quick sympathy cards today...I went with the color challenge colors today, a very pretty combo...but be honest, do you think that orange is too bright and festive of a color for a sympathy card, even though it's only a small amount on the butterflies? This is a sneak peek of a new set coming out from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps on Thursday called Nature Silhouettes and I love the images. I masked with post-it-notes and had to substitute all of the ink colors.
Did I just do a one layer card??? Oh my goodness, someone get me a chair...

Gorgeous little scene you've created, Bridget! One layer is more than plenty with beauties like this! I'll get you a chair any way ...

I think it's a wonderful sympathy card! It's very uplifting.
