WT515, Ovals---1-22-15 by Holstein
Linda is putting the oval in the spotlight.
One of my uncles passed away earlier this week and I've been dragging my feet to write a note to my aunt.
I had all these shapes die cut and the bg embossed forever.
I made the flowers with ek punches, added stickle and stems and micro gold beads to the centers.
Thank you for getting me going on this card, Linda.

Wow. This bouquet is absolutely gorgeous. I LOVE that paper behind it - it is sooooooo elegant and beautiful. Love the sponging you did and all the texture. Absolutely lovely.

I am so sorry about your uncle. Angela, this is a beautiful card and sure to lift your aunt's spirits. Those flowers look like paperwhites, and the layers and framing is just exquisite showcasing the delicate flowers. Love the way you placed the sentiment panel; such a heartfelt tribute.
