This card is for the MMTPT422 challenge to make a card to cheer Anne Ryan, who lost her husband to cancer recently. Anne is such a wonderful SCS member and friend of so many of us. I wanted to make a pretty card and had just acquired a new embossing folder that came with U.K. Cardmaking and papercraft magazine. The colours were also inspired by the following picture from this week's Inspiration challenge: http://designspiration.net/image/534383288773/
I also added three tiny pink gems for today's F4A341 challenge.

Your flowers are very pretty! The colors are wonderful on one of my favorite stamps, that I do not own. I never did get that one because I have the Wild Rose set that was so similar. The EF makes a beautiful card with this flower as the focal point!

What a gorgeous sympathy card that Anne will appreciate so very much. I was not aware that Anne's husband had passed away so now I am grateful to know this. I am putting this beauty into my favs! ~Karen.
