My mom called this morning with the bad news that her breast cancer (diagnosed April 2011) has spread into one of her vertebrae. More radiation etc to come and it is hard not to be discouraged. I made this card as much for myself as for her this morning as we need this reminder greatly!
For the Queen for the Day challenge to CASE one of our own cards, I chose to CASE one of my favorite cards from my gallery last year Christmas Story Sketch by mamaxsix at Splitcoaststampers. I changed to a monochromatic scheme in peaceful blues. I stamped the sentiment and the baroque flourish in Midnight Muse. I stamped the medallion in Versamark and embossed in clear. I then sponged Not Quite Navy over the medallion. I also sponged along the edges and added a pearl. I'm also participating in the TLC challenge counting this as TLC389 Blissful Backgrounds using the Emerging Color technique

Oh Gail, this is so beautiful. I love the colors, they are so soft and comforting, as is the scripture sentiment. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. It is so hard to wrap your head around news like that. May the Good Lord wrap his arms around all of you!!
