This is for today's FEATURED STAMPER - JovialJudi. I chose Judi's DAFFODIL CARD to CASE. I changed the flower image, layout and colors and I just realized I forgot to add the little gems that were just so cute. Oh well, I will add them and just image that they are there. I love making cards but sympathy cards are by far the hardest to make when they are made specifically for someone. Usually I have a stack to pick from but today I wanted to make one special for a special stampin' friend, Lori McAree is laying her father to rest and my heart goes out to her. I was 1st introduced to Lori as a design team member for Treehouse Stamps then Shannon and I got the chance to meet her in person at Summer CHA last yeart in Orlando. She is a complete "LOVABLE NUT".
Onto my card that will go in the mail early tomorrow. My layout is from Friday's GET SKETCHY # 26. I used Brilliant blue pattern paper and card stock. My image is a digital image to be released Thursday from TREEHOUSE STAMPS DIGITAL LINE. My focal panel was trimmed and embossed with Nestie Large Oval and matted with a trimmed and embossed Nestie Label 9 in brilliant blue. The sentiment I created to go along with the image and theme of sympathy. Hope you like it and I hope it brings comfort to Lori.

Wow Neva! The blues just stand out so beautifully in the gallery today. I am certain Lori will treasure your card and kind gesture. I love the Label 9 you used! The flowers are just colored so beautifully and that lovely white bow sets everything off. Perfection! Thanks so much for playing along today in honoring me. I so appreciate it!! Hugs, Judi :-)
