Last sympathy card was for the son of this man that passed away today's card is going to his sister, I sat there deciding what to do for her card when I looked at
Power Poppy's Sepia Challenge, I thought that would make for a nice subtle card but I had never tried coloring this way. I decided to go with colored pencils thinking that would give me a softer look and I used 4 different tones of browns. I actually really like the way this turned out and may use this for sympathy cards in the future. That is what I like about these challenges, we don't always think to try something different until we are challenged to.
I inked around the image before adding foam tape and adding it to my card base.

Hope you are having a good week so far,
