With Sympathy - My Friend

I was the color hostess this week for the color challenge over at Split Coast and I chose 3 neutrals to play with - white, grey and sand - I know - sounds bland - but I like the quiet of neutrals once in a while and I think we can do a lot with it - don't you??!!

I was inspired by a picture I saw in a magazine of some lovely curtains of grey and white wide horizontal stripes against a sand colored wall - and my color choices were chosen!

I made a sympathy card with my colors - using wide stripes of white and grey and accents of sand - with the scallop strip, the banner and the Memory Box Amana Circle die cut.  My stamps are Waltzingmouse - Bitty Banners and Celtic Heritage.

I used the Saturday Waltzingmouse Sketch for my card. Isn't this a fun sketch?

So what do you think of my 'all neutral colors' card??  Check out all the neutral color cards in the SCS color gallery this week!
