Blue Flower Sympathy

Hello, friends.  I am back again today to share a sympathy card.  I need to make a few of these for my parents, as their stash is running low.  For this card I used a flower image from Crafty Secrets, from their Flower Garden set.   The sentiment is a freebie from Doodle Pantry.


I coloured the image with my Prismacolor pencils and  mounted it on several layers of patterned paper according to this sketch at From the Heart Stamps i {heart} sketches:

Forget-me-not is my favorite flower! Your card is so beautiful and calm, love it. Thank you for joining us at Artistic Inspirations, good luck

Its a sad fact that lots of Sympathy cards are neede every year so it's good to have some too hand rather than have to rush and make one when it becomes necessary. This one is really lovely - a nice choice of image and papers, and they work well with this layout.

Beautiful card Kitty, lovely colour combo and image is stunningly gorgeous...Your cards are a pleasure to view...BUT, where's Kitty????

Here is a link for what I use but you must remember it is not easy to use, I taught myself years ago and have upgraded to this more 'modern' programme, you can start with an older version....this is the new one...http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod5130100

You will also need to purchase/obtaind filters and plugins for this programme to be successful. I test tutorials for a lady who does digital graphics so she provides me with a lot of the filters for what I need....also there is a technique on how to insert the filters/plugins and how to use them effectively....are you confused now....luv anniexxxx

Thank you so much for joining us on our first monthly challenge of 2014 'anything goes', what a great theme to start off with.

A perfect card for such a sad occasion. It has a great balance of subtle and colourful. The colours you've used are beautiful and match the papers perfectly. Great layou too.
