I think that this is my first card for a sketch challenge in almost a year. I was just never able to get one finished before the next one came out. As my husband continues to need more help doing everyday tasks, my time gets more limited. In so many ways he is doing quite well, but Parkinson's Disease continues to control our lives. Sometimes in small ways and other times in really big ways.
I have tried to put the details to making my card on my blog. I am providing a link--

You have used this wonderful rose stamp in such a new and refreshing way today! I love the gorgeous papers you chose that highlight your rose and wonderful sentiment to the fullest. My heart goes out to you and your husband and know I am praying for you. My dad has advanced Parkinson's and I know how hard this is. Take care and thank you for the great inspiration today! Hugs! ~Karen.

Beautiful take on the sketch. So glad you could participate. Your card is lovely. I like the flower. The papers go so nicely with it. Love the sentiment, so true. I'm sorry to hear of your husband's illness. I hope you'll have time to stamp for a creative outlet. There is no deadline on any of the weekly challenges, so stamp away when you can. We hope you'll be able to share what you're making with us! Thanks for sharing your fabulous card and for joining the Sketch Challenge. God's blessings to you both.
