Karen Barber is today's FS. What a gallery full of eye candy! Congrats again, Karen!
This is a sympathy card for my sister who one year ago today lost her granddaughter, age 27, to drugs! Her name was Jessica Rose, so I thought this was the perfect image to use.

Vicky! How wonderfully appropriate, the image with her name. That is a gorgeous rose image. I have one very much like it, maybe even the same. I love the card but am sad at the reason you made it. My son had a friend that he raced bicycles with when he was about 10 years old (he is 23 now) who passed way on Thursday. Drug over-dose. Its so so sad to see a young person's life cut short due to the use of drugs. Its such a shame. Your card will be so comforting to the family. Its' so beautiful!

Ah! Vicky is this perfection or what! I love the vintage feel of these papaers and the rose is gorgeous. Fine case there, just love your take on Karen's card. TFS

Beautiful card, Vicky. I'm sure your sister will find solace in it. I also know the heartbreak of a child who could be lost to drugs. Fortunately, my son cleaned his act up -- and will hopefully stay that way. {{Hugs}} to you and your family.
