Peace and Comfort For a Friend

Hi Ladies! How's your Wednesday late afternoon going? It's such a beautiful day today, I just love the sunshine! I made this card for a friend at church. She has had it very, very, rough for the last 6 months or so. Her young daughter just finished up all her treatments for breast cancer. She just returned from out of town after celebrating the last treatment and came home to some very sad news that her mother only had a few months to live. Well, this past week her mother died. She has really gone through a lot and I wanted to make her up a card. I hope it picks her up even if it's for only a few seconds.



Close up...I really like using pearls!...(I think you know that by now.)



Card Size 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Supplies:
Stamp-JustRite Stamp Thinking of You Borders and Center Ovals
Paper- PTI-Sweet Blush, Smokey Shadow, Select white, DCWV-Adhesive Mat Stack Prints
