We’ve
had a busy week around the house. I’ve
been trying to get to two sketch challenges – this one is the 2nd
one I’ve been working on but it has the earlier deadline, so you’ll get to see
this one first. I often combine cards
that I need with sketches and blogs that I follow, and that is the case with
this card. Another friend from church
has had his father pass away very suddenly this past week so I needed another
sympathy card. I tried to go masculine
this time and used the brown/neutral family, but I wanted a pop of color to
brighten it a bit and butterflies and a yellow flower just seem to be just what
I wanted to do here. Yellow for me
reminds me of sunshine and therefore I also think about the Son of God who
gives those who believe hope beyond this earthly realm.

The card measure 5.5” by 4.25”. I used the Fancy Fan EF on the card base, as
well as both patterned papers. With such
a monochromatic color scheme for the main card elements, I wanted to make sure
that texture added some interest to the card.
That Fancy Fan EF is one of my favorites, and it sort of mimicked the
pattern of the base patterned paper layer.
I used the MOJO Monday sketch
for the card layout with few variations except for the dimensions. You can see the sketch below along with the photo of the inside of the card. I hope that you enjoyed your visit to my
blog. Please feel free to leave me a

Many
Blessings,
