I love the exciting looks that I get when I participate in the Weekly Inspiration Challenge (that I never would have done were it not for the inspiration)! (smiles) No matter how often I play - I am always amazed at how it gets my creative juices flowing!
What I liked about the wall decor was the floral softness of the hard metal-like structure over the brick wall. It was unexpected to me. So it challenged me to incorporate my own metal-like focal point, yet find a way to soften it for a sympathy card. An interesting twist in my opinion. (smiles).
Enjoy!

P.S. I was going to do a YouTube video then I remembered that I learned the recessed window technique a while back right here on SCS from Beate. Here is her tutorial video: Recessed Window Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

Wowza ... I always love to see where your inspiration takes you ... you inspire me ... those copper blooms are some of my favorites, and against your recessed brick wall, they are amazing ... I would love those pieces of art for my home ... and your art is frame-worthy too ... fantastic inspired design.
