I created this card for Ways to Use It Challenge #51. I don't own the water colour crayons (yet) so I used the aqua pen and water colour pencils. This card is for a very special woman - my dads wife. My dad is currently fighting cancer and Donna has been an absolutely remarkable woman who has been soooooo supportive and helpful. I hope to give her this card next week when I see them (together with some real roses too.........gotta have them!!!).

This is absolutely elegant! I love the way you used the stamp a second time at the top and offset it. I always think inside the box and would have used the whole image just once and centered it or something, but this is very effective. I also like the way you used the black cardstock layer. Into my favorites it goes!

This is just beautiful!!! I love how you used this stamp twice. I too love this stamp. Your story behind the stamp is beautiful also. Prayers for you and your family. Enjoy them while you have them. None of us is guaranteed tomorrow. We all just live like we have tomorrow. Sometimes knowing your time is limited gives you the best communication of your life. Blessings to you and your family. You're lucky to have them!
