Such a sad time right now. The senior pastor of our church for almost 40 years passed away this Friday. He had been having health issues and one thing lead to another until there was nothing else that could be done. He leaves behind his wife, children and grandchildren, not to mention a whole congregation and community. He will be sadly missed. I made this card to send to his wife and their family in this time of grief.
with very vanilla and black color combo. I used a b/g stamp to make the b/g paper, then embossed it with the Textiles EF for some texture. I used a pre-made dimensional flower, buttons, ribbon, prima flower and pearls.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look and to remember that life is very fragile.

Oh, Pammy, I am so sorry to hear your church has lost its beloved Pastor. It's so difficult when you loose someone that speaks to your heart through your church services and his interaction w/his congregation.
what a beautiful black and white card this is. Hey, I now have that ribbon too, thanks to you, sweet girl. I have so many favorite color combinations, but black and white has always been #1 on my list since I was a teenager. Your card is wonderfully striking and speaks to nothing less than sensitivity and warmth. I trust this will be so well received by the family.
Done in the typical signature style we've become accustomed to from our Ms Pammy!
