A close friend and fellow crafter has, very sadly, just lost her Dad so I had to make one of those dreaded sympathy cards. She's a fan of SWALK images so I thought this stamp would fit the bill nicely.
The image was, of course, coloured with Promarkers, the sentiment was done with a Stampin' Up stamp. I decided to go for a white on white scheme, adding interest by embossing with a Sheena Douglass folder and adding a punched strip made with my favourite Martha Stewart punch. Some white ribbon, a bow and some pearls finish it off.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
The Perfect Sentiment - #37 - Make it Feminine
Sketch Saturday - #256 - Sketch
Everybody-Art - #234 - Pearls
Crafty Boots - Use a Stamped Character
The Paper Nest Dolls - #3 - Emboss It

Totally Gorjuss - #181 - Ribbon and Pearls

Milk Coffee - Lace and Pearls
My Heart Pieces - Add Embossing
I think a perfect card for the purpose Wendy, always a difficult one.
