Yeah! I finally had time... or, rather... made time to do a challenge! It felt great! It's been forever, as work took over my life for a few weeks.
This card is for a friend. She's had a couple deaths of loved ones (her mom and sister... both to brain cancer) and her dad just had a stroke. That required more than just a "sympathy" card. She needs strength. She was a childhood best friend, so I have so many fond memories of her family. My heart is heavy, too. I can't imagine how suffocating her grief is right now.
I guess the vulture that I picked for inspiration could represent cancer. There's not a disease I have come to hate with more passion. However, I realized that a vulture also has some very beautiful aspects to it. A reminder to always try to find the good when all seems dark.
