This weeks challenge was a sympathy card using ribbon, punch, and beads, gosh did I have fun with those beads seem to spend a lot of time on my hands and knees on the floor picking them up haha! I decided to glue the little beads all around the edge of the card and thought I would try and make them even so I used a ruler to mark every half inch then added glue which was white and runny then I couldn't see the mark of the pencil and then it dried clear so now you can see where I missed the pencil dots used an oval punch for the words and you can see the ribbon so I think that is all the requirements. Thanks for looking.

This is so pretty. I was having a hard time figuring out how to attach my beads. I spilled them all over my table and I am still cleaning them up. This will bring comfort. I love the colors you chose. Super job.

This is very pretty and so serene. The perfect sympathy card. I love the gold embossing and the beads look good. (glad you had fun with those) I like how you did your shading on the flower. Just looking at that lily is enough to make one feel comfort. Great job.
