One of my dearest friends lost her Mother to lung cancer on Easter Sunday. It took me a day or so to figure out what I wanted to send to her. She is very religious so I wanted to send this prayer of St. Francis. I actually stamped the image in Going Grey first, then embossed the prayer in black on top. It took me a few tries to be happy with the results. When I went to photograph this, it took me several tries to get anything remotely acceptable. But it does look more crisp in person.
Now I have only to write the note inside- the very hardest part. I can only hope she feels the love I put into creating this for her. Thank you for looking.
