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.
Power Poppy - Countryside bouquet Deluxe stamp set
Hero Arts - Everyday Sayings stamp
Spellbinders - A2 matting basics B die
Thanks so much for stopping by today,
Hope you are having a good week so far,
Connie

The sepia tones are perfect for a sympathy card! Such a lovely card!
It's a beautiful monochromatic card, Connie! xx
It turned out fantastic and makes for a great sympathy card.
Oh Connie! You found your calling. Your colouring skills with tone on tone is impeccable. This will certainly be treasured on such a sad occasion
This is absolutely gorgeous, Connie! You definitely should color like this more often. You took a rather complex image and made it look amazing in the sepia tones, which does a fantastic job of showing off Marcy's artwork and yours, as well!
Both cards are beautiful....

I really enjoyed your card, Connie! It is very well painted.
Could I use this colorful flower bouquet design on one of the porcelain plates I am painting?
You have some beautiful images for sympathy cards. Such difficult cards to make, but yours are just perfect.
