Things I changed: Heat embossed, added panel & changed colors
I tried a couple different ways, I hope this works as far as color goes. This will be mailed tomorrow to my best friend's mother as my friend passed away 3 yrs ago & she gave me this stamp.

Oh, dear, so sorry for the loss of your best friend. That must have been so hard to say goodbye. What a nice way to honor her by using a stamp she gave to you. This lady looks so beautiful all done in gold-love it!

Connie, this card is lovely! I really like the origami cranes in the bg, highlighting the Japanese theme of this card. This is a thoughtful gift for your best friend's mother and a wonderful way to honour your friend.
