With Deepest Sympathy - CR84FN59!

Hi All! And a Very  Happy Sunday to you!  Hope you've all been enjoying a Wonderful weekend! Today we start a Brand New CR84FN Color Challenge! Yay! 8-)  And for the next two weeks we will be working with CR84FN59's  Beautiful color palette of  Coral, Brown & Tan... 8-)

Sorry to say, I had the need to create a sympathy card, my dear Sweet Friend's Grandmother passed away, and I am sending this off to her and her family with my deepest condolences.. My Mats and BG & Die cut  Layers were created using a combination of brown CS from my stash and MME's Lost And Found Market Street collection & Echo parks This and That Graceful collection as well. I created my Sweet flower with the help of my Cricut and the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge and a vintage peal brad. For my leaves, I got to use my New TE Leafy Branch Die. And to finish it up, I inked some of my edges with Vintage Photo distress ink, stamped my I/O sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa onto a SB Tag die cut and layered on top of two SB Labels 14 die cuts and a kraft doily from my stash. 8-)

Here are the Wonderful CR84FN colors..
For all the CR84FN Challenge details, please be sure to visit the CR84FN Blog. And Of course, please do go and check out the Beautiful creations the rest of the Super talented DT has put together for your inspiration...8-)  l Sure hope you can join us!


Hope you all have a Wonderful day & thanks so much for stopping by! 8-)
