Sympathy Watercolors

A dear family friend passed away on Sunday; she and her husband were friends with my parents, and as children, we shared many happy times together.  I sat down on this dreary morning to make a couple sympathy cards. 

I used Watercolor Trio for both cards.  The first one uses a sketch from Stamping 411:

I used my Watercolor Crayons and directly colored the stamp, then spritzed it lightly with water and stamped on to Watercolor Paper.  Simple, but very sweet.  Here’s the inside:

The next one uses markers for directly coloring on the stamp.  This is a case from this card by Mary Fish:

I did not put many embellishments on the card and just let the image and sentiment be the focal points.  Finally, here’s a view of what my little Pumpkin has been spending her day doing:

A perfect way to spend a rainy day----I think I might just do the same!  Thanks for visiting---remember to come back tomorrow!  And thank you so much for all the kind comments you make about my creations—they mean so much to me!
