Sharing in your Sorrow

DSCF5569

The clean & simple challenge #37 today at SCS was to make a sympathy card....and I am sure lots of people used the Thoughts & Prayers set, but it has such great sentiments, it's just a natural go-to set:

I stamped my image in Certainly Celery, then went over it with a Chocolate Chip marker, coloring in the trunk and stems.  Retired Certainly Celery ribbon and a little Certainly Celery flower punched with the Flower Trio punch adds a simple touch; I carried the floral theme to the inside as well:

Rather than use a brad in each of the flower centers, I used my stylus to make a "center", then colored it with my Chocolate Chip marker.  Thanks for visiting today!
