Hi there and a very happy Monday to you all!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I have just came off a 10 day vacation in California so I am a happy girl.  I spent the week crafting and coloring away with my dear friend Sharron and visiting my youngest grandsons.

It is time for another challenge at Aurora Wings, this time it is nice and easy for all to enter as it is anything goes.  I chose this image as I needed to make a sympathy card for my boss as she lost her Dad very unexpectedly in the beginning of Feb.  I apologize for the picture however it is the best one I could get with the true color....I tried a photo tent, outside, inside with my camera and the purples were looking all mismatched LOL!  So this is one with my phone and it is the best one of them all.

I have used the beautiful "Pansy Corner 2" for this card and it could be used for so many different style cards.

  

I hope you all will find some time to join in our challenge.
