We've got a great new challenge for you at Freshly Made Sketches. Our hostess this week is our resident color-master Amy. I love this sketch!
It seems weird to think about making sympathy cards but I do like to have some on hand when the time comes that I need one. Amy's sketch gave me the perfect design. I used the colors from the latest FabFriday challenge, although I will admit that my Soft Seafoam is a stretch. I didn't have any colors that were terribly close to the right one so I chose the best one that I had. I'll completely understand if they throw me out of their gallery! Obviously I need to go shopping to fill this gap in my cardstock collection!
Thanks for stopping by! My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have made some terrific cards to inspire you. I hope you'll join us in the gallery!

This is a lovely sympathy card Jen!
Love those bright flowers with the blue backdrop - pretty card!
Wow, this is gorgeous, Jen - love those pretty stems, such a sweet sympathy card. I won't sue you over the Sea Foam, lol! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Just beautiful, Jen! Perfect use of the colors. I hate making a sympathy card under pressure and usually keep a few on hand.
I really love this. The colors are beautiful together, and the flowers are my favorites!
Sympathy cards are always so hard, but this one strikes the perfect balance -- not too cheery but not dull, and with a pretty, serene image. I love it!
Oh wow Jen! This card is gorgeous! I just love those poppies! They are so pretty and work perfectly for this sympathy card!
I love that gorgeous central image you've used - it is such a delicate look. Beautiful sympathy card!
This really pretty! The flowers are lovely and that sentiment is perfect with them. Your colors are wonderful...always love this combination.
Beautiful card, Jen. I love your graphic type style, even when you are doing florals. Yes, it is hard to make sympathy cards, but I have a significant stash of them (Maybe it is because I am old, lol) and it seems they are frequently needed.
I have that set and had forgotten all about it. I love the way you've used it to fill in that panel. The colors are wonderful!
