Bold and Beautiful

CAS-ual Fridays has a great challenge up this week - using pastels with black/white - which is, I agree, a challenge.  I don't usually combine the beautiful Spring pastels with the bold color of black, and there are several samples at Casual Fridays' blog if you want to play along here

Unfortunately, I am in need of a sympathy card, so I took advantage of the Bold and Beautiful challenge to make one for a dear, dear friend who lost her mother this weekend.

Rolled Rose and Fancy Flourishes dies (MFT), Sending You (PTI)
I have a few other ideas spinning around in my head for this challenge, so I hope to get to them soon. 

I guess this will also qualify for PTI's blog hop going on today today - which is full of yellow.  You can see all of the inspiration if you click here . 

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!
