This is a card for the mother of my step-daughter who has Pancreatic cancer. It is too long a story to write here but she is also the woman who inspired in me years ago, my love of all things ivory and monocromatic. Inside it says "One never knows how one might inspire another". I sent her a letter to tell her how this inspriration came about with this card. This is one of those cards that just flew together as if on wings and I know it was because it was for her. I used my "special paper" from Paper Source that I only have a little of. It is so lovely IRL. I didn't have a scalloped edge this size this is the negative from a Memory Box Die called Trellis Border. After cutting it it leaves a scalloped border behind! It leaves a little divit which I covered with the tiny pearls. The flourishes are Die-namics and the flowers are Punch Bunch, the butterfly, Joy Craft. I used the Spellbinder Fancy Lattice and the Spellbinder scalloped rectangle to create a sort of window.The banner is SU.
