April's Sentimental Challenge; With Sympathy

  Hello Crafty friends!

Thank you for joining in with last week's Mellow Yellow challenge, there's something really wonderful and cheering about Yellow, isn't there? A dash of sunny yellow definitely brightens the spirits

It's the first Friday of the month and time for our Monthly Sentimental Challenge;

 The theme for April is
With Sympathy

Perhaps the hardest of all the cards we make, its so difficult to express how much we care for someone experiencing so much pain and sorrow.
But Sympathy and Condolence cards mean so much to those who grieve

These challenges help us grow our stock of cards for those times we need something special and thoughtful.
So join in, make a couple of cards to match the sentiment and always ...
Be Prepared!

As usual, we'll share our ideas and we'd love you to join us keep the inspiration going. Here is some inspiration from our Design Team.
