Hello, Friends.
I'm here today to share a card (actually 4) made for family members after the death of a beloved Uncle. His death leaves a huge hole in many hearts of family, friends and community. You see, he'd been a high school teacher, a track & field coach, a wrestling referee, then left to start his own business due to popular demand. That endeavor started from growing flowers in his own backyard, and the community stopping by to ask if he'd sell them. From there he branched out, building his own greenhouses, then some more greenhouse, to a full blown building of a new, modern retail facility with an electronically controlled light/temperature/humidity system. If you're ever in Puyallup, Washington, stop by
you'll truly be amazed!
Uncle Dan was an amazing man, as was his wife, Aunt Fran!
They are together again in heaven.
Due to short notice and long hours at work, these were made very similar with only a small change on each card. Truly not how I like to make cards, but sometimes one must be flexible. A large background stamp was used in varying ink colors, vellum cut using various edges and the word die cut and placed.
Hubbs got these all mailed, and now I've been slow to post them.
Supplies:
CP inks
MFT - Roses All Over BG stamp, Stitched Scalloped Edges dies, Prayers die
Hug your loved one today, and everyday that you can!
