This is my card for the MMTPT challenge "Forever". Our cards this week are going to Starla Jones, whose son was tragically killed in a recent car accident. He was the grandson of our own irishgreensue (Sue).
I actually made a card a while back using this focal, so I didn't post any details here. If you would like to see how it was created, here is the original post. I loved the focal image but didn't like the card, so I took it from the original and created this card for Starla. I am much happier with this version.
As always, thanks for looking!

The background and work on glossy photo paper is fascination and beautiful! I wondered how you colored on glossy with alcohol markers, then looked at your paper types and never thought of doing that! The photo paper dries faster than the usual crafting glossy! Brilliant idea and love the coloring on this. Gorgeous card for Starla!

Loved your original, but this is extra special, and I am deeply grateful you made this to send to Starla - it is both comforting and touching!
