I need a sympathy card for the mother of a friend who passed away this week. Ruth was 95 years old and a most gracious and beautiful woman. This dress by Alexander McQueen was my inspiration for the die I used to frame my design: http://i-dont-wear-dresses.tumblr.co...et-embroidered. The delicate floral spray reminds me of Ruth...she was a petite and frail woman who weighed only 78 lbs. I used the Tattered Lace floral die and cut several copies and cut them apart to fashion my design.

Paulette, as I was searching the site, I saw your gorgeous inspiration dress and loved it. I knew that I could not capture it because I don't have the right dies. However, you did a fantastic job on reflecting the essence of the dress. Your card is so beautiful and I love it!!

Your card really reflects the design of the dress. I may just have to get that tattered lace die...it's so beautiful. I'm sure your friend will be touched by such a beautiful card to remember her mom.
