Watercolor Sympathy Card

Good afternoon crafty friends! Many of you may know that I'm from Oklahoma and today is the 20th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. On April 19, 1995 there were 168 lives lost including 19 young children in the building's day care center. An additional 650 individuals were injured in the attack and countless lives affected by the tragedy. There has been a lot of news coverage this week and interviews with survivors. Although, I was hundreds of miles away from the city that day, I can still remember what I was doing when it happened and the crushing feeling when I heard the news. My heart goes out to those still grieving from this disaster.

I would like to share this Watercolor Sympathy Card with my friends at The Paper Players for their Clean and Simple Watercolor Challenge. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

    Andrea, this is a beautiful card. I love how your brushstrokes create such a soft background. The pop of orange butterfly is wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us at The Paper Players!
