I am very happy to play in Stacy's gallery. She has a very beautiful place to spend some time in. I've chosen about 20, but settled on this one for now.
I have kept slightly the same layout, though I used different colors for the ribbons, watercolored with lavender and yellow and green for the leaves. Used bic for the stem and added some yellow. The tulips if from Deena, she let me stamp a few of them some while ago. thanks sweetie. The sentiment is from Pat Smethers, thanks honey. Sponged the whole gray panel and distressed it.
I made this card for Darla and her family, for sadly, they have lost a friend in the helicopter crash in New-Foundland last week. I just hope all the families can find peace and comfort from their friends and family and yes, some friends they don't know.
Thanks for looking and enjoy.
