This is a very late submission for FS140 celebrating glowbug. Congratulations, Chris! What a wonderful gallery you have and I finally had time to make a card in your honor. I selected this beauty here: SC227 Happiness Always by glowbug at Splitcoaststampers.
I kept the color scheme, changed up the layout a bit, changed the punch and CB folder, then used a different stamp set.
I have been commissioned to make a slew of sympathy cards which just don't come very easily to me. So I was thrilled to turn glowbug's fabulous card into the first of many sympathy cards to be made!
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

What a beautiful card... I love the punched border and the embossed background... I agree that sympathy cards can be difficult - good luck with your commission! I'm sure they'll be appreciated...

You casing my sympathy card, I think it's the other way around - I should case your sympathy card. This is SO GORGEOUS and soft M. Glowbug has a fabulous gallery and I almost picked this card when I cased her. Love your b/g e/f, image, hardware and that beautiful arch lattice border. A truly beautiful card M!! It should bring much comfort! TFS!

This is lovely! Great use of the MS border punch and great colouring of the image. Perfect EF for the BG too. Great card.

A bunch of sympathy cards doesn't sound like an easy commission, but if this is anything to go by, it's not going to be hard for you. I like the softness of this.
