These colors would be perfect for a wedding card or a Valentine, and I was planning to use them to make a baby card, but I found out last week that a friend of mine recently lost her brother so I find myself in need of a sympathy card instead.
I like soft colors for sympathy cards, and these three fit the bill. Still, for such a simple-looking card this seemed to take me forever! It took at least 20 minutes looking through my patterned paper scraps for something that would work with what I had in mind, but then I found that soft dot pattern from last year's Watercolor Wonder paper. Just what I needed.
I usually don't combine my Nacho cards with any other challenges, but I needed a sketch to make the process go faster so I turned to the gals at Create with Connie and Mary:
I think it's an interesting sketch, different from what I normally do, but I liked how my card turned out.
So anyway, I hope no one else out there needs a sympathy card so you can get to making the pretty Valentines or baby cards! Check out the Nacho blog for more eye candy and then make your own :)
Cheers, peeps!
