Had some time to stamp on Sunday and am just now uploading. This card is for two challenges - first it's a catch-up for JDMommy aka Anne, who was our wonderful QUEEN a couple of Friday's ago.
Congratulations Anne - I LOVE your fabulous designs. You are such a creative force here on SCS, your style is diverse and I always look forward to seeing one of your creations in the gallery. I also look forward to seeing your sweet comments on my cards. Thank you for that!!
Changes were with colors, added layers, ribbon with bow, designer papers in place of embossing. I really wanted to keep the white background, and had at least kept it to pastels, but at the last minute I flipped the DSP and found this pop of color in the Pacific Point that I just loved. Hope you all love it too.
This card is also for the May Dirty Dozen monthly sketch challenge - these challenges are so fun!! It's also for a very special Aunt in NJ, who lost her husband and best friend of over 40 years last November. We saw each other recently and this card is just to let her know we're still thinking of her, and sending our love and prayers.
Thanks everyone for looking!
I'll be back soon to comment!
Enjoy your week!
Hugs,
Audrey
