Happy Thursday Everyone!! I hope you are all having a great week. Mine is going well....just super busy!! Boy is time flying!!
Anywho...today is the Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge! Lori sent the team this photo to be inspired by:
I was inspired by the pink flowers in the center of the wrapping paper. Since I have several friends that have lost a parent, I need to be sending out Sympathy cards. I thought the flower in Close to my Heart from SU were very similar to the flowers on the gift wrap. The frame I created around my window was cased from the ever so talented Yvonne here. My very dear friend, Grace just blessed me with the Lotus borders set in some Happy Mail!! Thanks Grace!!!The sentiments are from Our Daily Bread Designs- Thinking of You and With Deepest Sympathy.
There is lots of embossing inside and out but the outside has lots of dies that cover it so it is hard to see in person. The layout uses the Pixie Cottage layout from last week.card recipe:stamps: Daily Bread Designs Thinking of You and With Deepest Sympathy, SU- Close to my heart
