This Twisted Sister Challenge for this Friday was to make a sympathy card using a punch, ribbon and beads. The bg was sponged in and the trees and horse stamped over. The sky was made by stamping over a torn paper towel with Barely Blue. I used dark green micro beads in the tufts of grass in the fore ground. The wonderful textured paper was a gift from my sweet friend Judy Kell. Thanks Sistah, I am loving what your paper adds to my cards! Please see her beautiful gallery here:

Pat, this is just beautiful. Great scene and love your use of the micro beads. I like that paper from Judy, I thought there was a new cb embossing folder out that I hadn't seen yet. This card will be loved by the recipient.
