My good friend Elise is losing her mom to cancer... we were fortunate enough to host Elise and her mom, Donna, last Thanksgiving, never knowing it would be the last time we would see Donna.
So this is a tribute to Donna's life, sent to her three daughters, Elise, Andrea, and Laura.
It is a step card, purple base with paisley dp and decorated with Starform turquoise border stickers. I used a Sizzix die cut for the bird, out of turquoise glitter paper, and Sizzix die cut for the two swirly branches from purple paper and then I used a purple pen to decorate the leaves. There are three flowers on the next step, one for each of her daughters, stamped and punched. The greeting on the top step, (out of focus) is Love and Hugs (CTMH) and With Heartfelt Sympathy (Verve) stamped on WW with Concord Crush ink. I added some pearls and gems for sparkle.
Rest in Peace, Donna.

What an exquisite card to honor Donna and give strength to her Daughters. So sorry for the loss you too must feel, having also known and spent time with such a special lady. Your card is just so lovely, and intricate jeweled embellishing, and heartfelt sentiment - you are such a good friend!
