I love the fall colors and they are usually my favorite colors to use when creating a project. When creating sympathy cards, I go with purple or blue colors, I guess they seem like calm colors. I needed to make a sympathy card for my husband's co-worker who lost his father. His father lived in Mississippi and had a beautiful southern style porch on some beautiful property. I decided to use MFT IB the Front Porch-Fall for my image.
I didn't want to color in the image. It's not suppose to be a bright happy card, but a humble card. There was enough color with the paper choices and going with fall colors.
There are some fall, but not Halloween challenges going on, so I'm hoping this fall sympathy card is okay to enter into some challenges.
