In a style that is Loll's I embossed the flower in gold embossing powder and painted with Zigs. The blossom looked like a pink blob with no petal definition. I used my favorite fix-it-up, pencils and added more white to the petals. Some light sponging, stenciling and splattering were done in the background. Added a few stitches. Thanks for looking!

The softly textured background showcases the bloom beautifully on this, Nancy! That's a wonderful image, and the gold embossing is gorgeous. Your signature stitching adds a special touch. Beautiful card!

Beautiful card Nancy. Love the soft and delicate colouring of the flower. The stenciled background and splatters add lots of depth. Love the stitching details. Great job Nancy! xx

Nancy, your style is such a soft and delicate expression of beauty. Your card is exquisite and so very delicate for a sympathy card. I love the stitching and your coloring is a skill to behold. Beautiful everything on this one.
