October Afternoon...

I missed out on the natural sunlight when I took this pic so my apologies...I tend to not be so much of a traditionalist on some cards...especially sympathy cards.  Ugh, who likes to make those cards anyways?  This is actually going to my ex-mother-in-law.  She recently lost her older sister...which leaves her with no other living siblings...sigh...I had the opportunity to meet her sister and always sent her cards at Christmas with pictures of the kids...

I broke out the October Afternoon for this one...

Although you can't tell, the October Afternoon patterned panel is matted on a Stampin' Up Early Espresso panel..I think it looks black in the photo. Everything is nestled onto PTI kraft...the SRM sentiment makes it a truly traditional Sympathy card but it is perfect for her.  I topped it off with a Prima bloom.

I was inspired by the challenge over at Case Study:

This week is Julie Lacey!

Her work is gorgeous, isn't it?  I was inspired by:

Her panel on top of the card base

The Sentiment Panel

The Zig Zag stitching

I was also inspired by the current Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger:

Garden Glory

Are you kidding me...I absolutely LOVE that little space...oy vey.  I was inspired by:

The color Green

the pop of aqua

the vase of flowers

So there you have it....I'll be back tomorrow with a Scrapbook Sunday:)
