Pretty Palette 1

DSCF0139

Two posts in one Sunday—wowza!  There’s a new challenge out there called Pretty Palette and since I needed a sympathy card for a friend who lost her FIL, I thought I’d play along!  Here’s the palette:

I used another of Arielle’s images and sentiments (just can’t stop using them!) for my card:

My friend loves gerbera daisies, so this was a natural choice for me.  I used Copics to color the image and printed the center of the flower on some SU Patterns DP.  Thanks for visiting today---gotta run!

Beautiful, LeAnne! I actually prefer sympathy cards with a bit of cheerful color - and this one is perfect. And, you've color-coordinated it with that adorable granddaughter of yours, LOL! She kinda looks like a beautiful pink little daisy rising like sunshine. Have a wonderful week!

Oh this is great! and you colored it like your adorable granddaughter. I just think there should be a face on those daisies. So pretty.

OMG, your grandbaby is so sweet! I swear she looks a lot like you :] Love that she's always sharing her happy smile ♥

Your card is spectacular! I love that the colors are vibrant and bring a lot of positive energy. Something I'm sure your friend could use during this difficult time. Love your layout and the image/sentiment of Arielle's! Too cute! Thank you so much for helping us to kickoff the new challenge, we really appreciate it!!
