Sympathy CARDs, cQc#187

 

Quick post ... I made several sympathy cards this weekend for some very special family members using the "Love"ly palette colourQ challenge #187.  Using a soon-to-be retired stamp set called Just Believe. The stamp set is just what you need in your stamp room to create a wonderful variety of cards. I couldn't decide which one to enter so I'll let you pick.
