This weeks Twisted Sistah challenge was to make a card that reminded me of one of my other stamping Twisted Sistahs! Not a case, just borrowing their style so to speak. Everyone else has to guess who we chose! Not easy!!
This card is for my niece who will be spending Easter with us! I am anxious to see her and my SIL! She lost her husband in November and it would have been their anniversary on Easter Monday, so it will be an emotional Easter for her and her daughter. My heart aches for them and I want to make the time they spend with us special. My SIL wants things to be "normal" for our niece, so we are celebrating Easter as it should be, with happy thoughts and memories, and with loved ones.
Maybe I'l give a few hints as to my sistah choice...let's see, she uses ribbons at the top of her card often, colors lovely images way better than I did, and uses a lot of top folding card bases. There, maybe that will help!
Have fun my Sistahs!!
Thanks so much for looking and for your sweet comments!

Deena, what a cute card. I love this image and you have colored it beautifully. I think I will guess Dawn, she uses a lot of top folding cards, ribbons and colors beautifully.

Aside from this being one of the sweetest Easter cards I have seen, what compassion you show in relation to your Niece & SIL. I don't have a clue as to who you had in mind doing this one but I'm sure they are as special as this card. Here's wishing a healing Easter for your family and my prayers are with them..........and you.

Oh this is just adorable!! Your niece will love it! It is going to be a difficult time and my heart goes out to the family... but being together will help and your love and compassion will too!
There is absolutely NO doubt who this is.... this is most definitely DAWN! Yep... top fold, top ribbon, cute images, great coloring! You summed it up perfectly!

LOL... I am so predictable. Grace told me one day.. you always fold your cards at the top and use a ribbon. I dooooo. It just seems to be easier to photograph that way. You are too sweet. Thanks for the wonderful comments.
I am so sad for your niece and SIL. I too will keep them in my prayers. It must be such emotional times for them. I am so happy that they have you to lean on. Hugs...

Oh, Deena, I just read about the loss of you SIL's husband and how his wife and daugther are coming to visit you! I am so glad that you can be there with them! Such a sad time!!
