I am finally able to post my card for this weeks colourQ challenge. A lot of thought went into this card that I am sending to my sister-in-law today. Five years ago yesterday, my brother died of terminal cancer. He was only 50 years old, amazing husband, son, brother and father to four children. I wanted to send my sister-in-law a card to let her know that she is not alone. The colours this week were so easy to work with.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: Kraft, White, Aqua Mist Paper Pack
Stamps: Tea for Two Additions, Beautiful Butterflies, Flower Fusion #7
Ink: Kraft, Pure Poppy, Harvest Gold, Aqua Mist
Dies: Tea Cup, Tag Sale #5

Such a pretty card Tracey, love those mugs and the clean lines of your card!
