Hello everyone!
It's been forever since I got to play in ANY challenge on SCS but this afternoon after sifting through the things we brought home after my DFIL's funeral, I just needed a bit of relaxation. We've had an intense few weeks with his illness and travelling 13 hours each way to visit and then the funeral and finally moving them out the apartment in the retirement center they lived in...so this afternoon I decided to make something fun.
I used two Layers of Color sets: Back Yard Birds and Merci Bouquets, and the stamped frame is Our Daily Bread designs Vine Borders.
The papers are Bazzill base and brown, SU! Kraft, and the dp is Deja Views Timeless Collection. I used a MS Wrought Iron edge punch and colored the images with chalks. Perhaps I'll send this to my DMIL, who is having a hard time dealing with the loss of her hubby of just days short of 67 years. His favorite color was blue, hers is pink.
Thank you so much for looking! Blessings on your weekend!

Grace so glad you took some time for yourself today. Sounds like you needed it. Your cards including this one is beautiful. I love that birdie. That sponged punched border is wonderful. Some mighty fine cutting out going on here too. Such a lovely lovely card. TFS :0)

Wow, 2 beautiful cards back to back. Each is just exquisite.
I am so sorry to hear about your DFIL. Such a difficult time and adding all those miles only exacerbates the issue. You so deserve to sit back and let your creativity flow as it definitely did with both cards. Take care.
