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!!

That's gorgeous - blue is a very tranquil colour and I'm sure your friend will be touched to receive this. How sad for her - it's hard to lose your mother!

Chris, this is beautiful. I love the blues against the white, stunning. I really like that lattice die in the background with your leaves flourish dies. Again, a stunning card.

Incredibly beautiful, Chris, every gorgeous layer! And I like how you kept it without a sentiment, the beauty and attention to detail speak for themselves. Your dear friend will appreciate your love and especially your prayers so very much.
