My card for Liz who recently lost her mother. You know how I love symbolism, so I placed the word "mother" inside a heart as I know her mother will always reside there.
For the bg, I inked the EF with light gray ink. It both brought out the text a bit and added a silvery sheen to the bg. The sentiment is computer generated using Arial font.
I looked at the Gallery before posting and as always the cards are stunning, I think they each achieved the sense of soothing sympathy our hostess Pat suggested. I imagine Liz will be enveloped and uplifted by all your beautiful cards and messages of sympathy and support. Well done everyone. TFL

Ooh, this is such a stunning card for Liz. Love the white and the lost shadow. Your idea to put Mother in a heart is beautiful and those stems are a fabulous touch!!

Stunning card...wow...The symbolism is there..I think all of us see our own remembrances in this...The light gray on the ef is such a cool look...guess I need a new DO color..I don't have lost shadow. I love the delicate spray across the letters...what an awesome design.

Brilliant design/coloring! The light gray does give the silver sheen and it's so attractive. The heartfelt symbolism is perfect showing her love forever.

I have to say this card is really perfect. I love the symbolism of the word Mother in the heart, love the paper, love the layering. Just a beautifully designed card.
