Fairytale Challenge Guest Designer Spot

Hello Blogland:
I am super excited to share my first card as a Guest Designer for the Fairytale Challenge Blog! I was lucky enough to be one of 3 people that were chosen to be a Guest DT for the next 3 months. Their challenges run for 2 weeks and this time its #49 'Add Some Metal'.  Be sure you pop over to the blog to have a look at all the lovely creations that Bianca and her DT and my fellow Guest DT have made for you for this challenge. There are so many different ideas for adding metal to your cards that you are sure to be inspired.

Sunflower Sympathies

Good afternoon friends!
I have kind of gotten away from Christmas cards a bit, too give you all a break, lol. I made my first every sympathy card and thought I would share it with you today. The image is by Gingerloft Digi Stamps and can be purchased from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps. It is a very pretty image and I totally enjoyed colouring it.
Here is today's card:
