Are you ready for a new challenge? This week, it's brought to you by me, Lori, and I have a gorgeous INSPIRATIONAL photo for you....I got it from the Better Homes and Gardens website. For our challenge this week, you take whatever you need to from this photo and run with it! It can be the colors, the patterns, the textures, whatever you want! I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

I decided to take the black/red/white color scheme from the photo and I decided to make a sympathy card for a dear friend of mine who recently lost her Mom....here is the card I came up with -
