Hello all!! I have been away for the past couple of weeks and unable to join in the challenges so today I just had to play with sketch 402. I needed to make a thinking of you card for one of my best friends who just found out her Mom has Liver Cancer and has only a few months left to live. I hope this somewhat soothing. I am praying for her in these difficult days.
For my image I used Lilac from the Garden Collection at Our Daily Bread Designs . The background is embossed in Vine Background . While I wanted to add a sentiment, I could not find the right one which would fit in the sketch. The vines are Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourishes. The lattice strip is created with a Martha Stewart punch.
Thanks for looking!!

There's just something about blue & white together that is so stunning. The details of your card are overwhelmingly beautiful, from the lattice to the nestie frame and little pearls. It's beautiful!
