Comforting lilac card


I have created this card for 2 challenges. The Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #48 and The Play Date Cafe #24-plum, lilac and cream. The saying is Verve and the patterned paper is Paper Adventures. I added punches for Martha Stewart, ribbon and flowers. This was a hard sketch for me but I am pretty pleased with it, a person always need sympathy cards! Thanks for stopping by!
