My dd is a freshman in college 1500 miles from home, has enough of a cold to make her feel miserable, and is just a little homesick right now. Her favorite color scheme is Black and White and Pink, so when I saw the Get Your Diva On challenge to do a card in Monochromatic colors, I thought Black and White would be perfect for a card to let her know that I'm thinking of her and that it will all be worth it in the end!
I used the Galatians 6:9 Plain Jane, the flower from Because of You, and a saying from the Small Phrases set.
Thanks for looking!

I adore this card, Tricia...it's like a big, fat, warm hug from mom...exactly what your dd could use right now! The palette is simply elegant, as are all those beautiful sentiments that you coordinated perfectly!
~And if there's any question in your dd's mind how her mother feels about her, let her know that you wouldn't fussy cut out those gorgeous flowers for just anyone...

So sweet! I love the beautiful black and white and gray - beautiful way that you did the sentiment - and love the way the flower drapes around the side of sentiment... So sweet - your DD will love it! Thanks so much for playing along!
