This card is to recognize caregivers to Alzheimer patients. Sometimes a thankless job. Cammie is doing her annual card drive on her blog: http://myblogbycammie.blogspot.com/ If you don't know a caregiver, you can send a card to the address she has listed. I have a friend who helps care for her mother but I am sending the card to my friend's father. He is the major caregiver.
I paper pieced my angel and used smooch on her halo. I colored directly on my paper flower with my concord crush marker.

Your card is lovely, and it is so special that you would thank this man- he will so appreciate your kindness in recognizing what he does. Bless your heart!

Sure, and those who are caregivers ARE really angels in disguise!! Love that you used the angel image, and it is very striking as a paper pieced gown on that angel! Your BG siver Embossing is elegant and will really show your friend's Dad how special you think he really is for all he does!!
Hooray for you for participating in this great challenge to recognize these special people!~!
