Challenge -- Freshly Made Sketches #74

Wow look at me go! Two challenges in one week.  Sometimes I just need the challenge to get me motivated and FMS never fails to get me in to my craft room.  I did something totally different from usual projects and used my sponges to create this sunset Sympathy card.

 

I am always inspired by Michelle Zindorf, she is a wonder at creating art with a brayer and sponges.  I love the look of a sunset card and when I was driving home the other day the sky was this amazing combination of pinks and purples so here is my take on it.  I used (from top to bottom) Midnight Muse, Perfect Plum, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette.   I used Basic Black for the hill and the tree (from the Serene Silhouettes).  The Card Stock is Basic Black and Perfect Plum.

Sharing in your Sorrow

I consider myself a very lucky person.  I have a wonderful friend, a very best friend who is like a sister to me.   If you have a friend like this you will know what I mean.   Her family is like family to me also.   To my great sadness Tuesday saw the passing of her Father.   We do not live very close together and all I want to do is to give her a hug.   When I feel stressed or sad I usually retreat into my craft room.  I decided I should put some of my sorrow on paper and create a card for the family.  I saw a card by Angela Carter and I thought it was perfect so I CASEd it. 

You will be greatly missed Don.  You were a wonderful person who treated me like one of your own.

My thoughts and prayers are with Don's Family today and everyday.
