Sympathy Vases in Neutrals
I am still having fun being a guest designer for the Splitcoast Color Challenge. This week was a bit of a challenge as the colors are ALL neutrals: Whisper White, Sahara Sand and Basic Gray. I am really looking forward to seeing what everybody comes up with. My church card ministry has a need for sympathy cards and these colors were perfect.
If you are an avid reader of my blog, my teenage son says to tell you that I will be AFK through this week. Sadly...I know what that means. Even more sadly, I learned what it meant from my family's favorite TV show - Big Bang Theory!! AFK means Away From Keyboard. I am heading out of town to be with a friend going through chemo. She lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota - deep enough in the hills that I will only have sporadic internet access. I do have a couple of posts scheduled while I am gone - but I likely won't be reading or commenting on any of YOUR blogs! I look forward to a full day of reading when I am back!!
really beautiful sympathy card Kim. So elegant. You will be missed while you are AFK. (I love the Big Bang Theory!) What a blessing to your friend that you're making the trip. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteKim, this is an incredibly beautiful, elegant card. Perfection! Travel safe, and savour the special time with your friend.
ReplyDeleteYour card is just so beautiful Kim. I pray that your visit gives your friend some extra support. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xx
ReplyDeleteKim, your card is lovely....enjoy your stay! I hope you can at least watch BBT while you're visiting--my FAVORITE show!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card. Great colour combo and design. Sending very best wishes to your friend. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Which company makes the sentiment you used? I like the font. Best wishes as you are AFK and with your friend.
ReplyDeleteI love neutrals and you have used them beautifully! This card is so soothing and serene, just perfect for a sympathy card. Have a nice visit with your friend. I'm sure she really appreciates you taking time to be with her. You're a good friend.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! This looks so comforting! I'm going to have to brainstorm on this color challenge! I love neutrals, but usually pair them with a bright pop of color! :)

Beautiful card Kim. Perfect in every way.
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely! I had to PIN it to my "Better Than Hallmark" board. :)
ReplyDeletePlease take care, dear Kim! I realise that this trip will be a difficult one for you. I do hope you are a lovely support and encouragement ... and that God will give you the strength to cope with all you need to face! L-O-V-E this card. You make CAS look so divine! Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Kim! I especially love the touch of glitter in the Glossy Accents.
