Hi everyone,
I'm just dropping in real quick to share this card I made last night with you all. I'm sad to say I'm in need of another sympathy card. A former colleague of mine lost his wife to lung cancer. It's so sad because it all happened so fast. She was diagnosed just a month ago.
Now I have to admit I always have a hard time picking a color scheme for Sympathy cards. I try to stay away from too much black because I want my cards to give a peaceful and hopeful feeling when someone looks at them...and not all gloomy, dark and depressing.
So this time around I went a little monochromatic which I love to do and haven't done in a while. I kept all colors in the brown/beige realm, which I thought still looked classy and elegant but also feels a whole lot warmer than black or gray.
The sketch was inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch...I say inspired because I tilted a panel here and I elongated the ribbon there. You know me I just couldn't stop myself. ;)
I have got to run...I've got class all day today and it's raining outside which means traffic is going to be twice as bad...Californians and rain don't mix all that well.
Take care and see you all back here soon :)
