I'm on a creative roll lately it feels good to be creating again.  My supply of sympathy cards is depleted so I've been making some lately and this weeks color challenge at CR84FN was just what I needed for inspiration!  I embossed the leaves by first inking the leaves with Tim Holtz's shabby shutters distress ink and then sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and colored in the leaves with my Copic marker (YG93) then embossed the flowers in white and colored them in with my Copic (V06) and sponged with Mustard Seed and Tumbled Glass.  My sentiment and image are from PTI's With Sympathy stamp set.  A very quick card!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a good one!
