Thanks for the great limited challenge today, Silvia. I'm not much of a blue girl...but it seemed to be exactly the color I needed today.
I always feel inadequate with sorrow cards. As I've said before, I usually do not use designs that fold, because I never know what to say, letting the front convey my feelings that have no words. I did know I wanted to use wings, carried on angels' wings, under HIS wings, flying, lightness...sky blue...heaven bound. So I returned to Technique Tuesday's wonderful wings in their Skin Deep set of clear acrylic. I stamped them on GP white cs with Brilliance moonlight white and embossed with Kaleidoscope, cut at various points. I tore the edge by hand and added the mat from MM autumn pack a color called 'dark'. My eyelet is a white star in the middle of the wings. The scripture is from Stampendous. It is inked in VersaMagic 'agean blue' onto Wild Asparagus paper, baby boy vine. I stamped the edge with Fancy Pants in the garden border, using ChalkBox french blue. The hearts are also from the Fancy Pants set...inked with ChalkBox lavender. Intertwined...connected always. The crown is again from the Skin Deep Technique Tuesday set. I used the Brilliance pearlescent sky blue for it. I added a beautiful piece of runched ribbon and mounted the panel on a shimmery blue cs. The edges of my wings are sponged with various shades of blue.
My heart is so heavy for my SCS friend. How tender are the threads we have that connect us all. Each word we type, each comment we make, each message we send, tie us together with cords that are unbreakable. We may never meet on this earth, but hope springs eternal.
Have a wonderful weekend...thank you so much for the time you give to me in your comments.

Oh, Susan! This is so beautiful! The soaring wings and the wonderful verse are perfect with the ethereal blues you used! The runched ribbon is lovely! It's so hard to make a card for this purpose that conveys what we feel but you've made one that is sure to bring comfort.
