This is my card for Misti's VSN challenge - she kicks off our world tour by taking us to the Victoria Falls in Zambia. I took my inspiration for the image panel from the silhouetted forest against the sky - and then ran out time trying to think how to include the waterfall itself. I told myself to stop overthinking, I had been inspired by the photo and didn't have to interpret it literally! So I added a sympathy sentiment, because it's always good to have a couple of cards in the stash, and simply embossed a base layer and added a little sparkle to it - so I did sort of pick up on the water effect ;-). I was trying to work in some wife organza ribbon with sparkle, but it just made the card top-heavy and too fussy, even if it was perfect for a curtain of falling water.

Browsing the gallery for a sympathy card and when I came to yours I knew I had found the inspiration I was looking for. Hope mine comes out half as beautiful as yours did!
