This will go to my neighbor whose wife passed away this week - She was into gardening and loved spending time with her grandkids.
I stamped my flower & sentiment onto watercolor paper, embossed with clear powder then watercolored. I wanted this card to be as unique as the woman whose life it is honoring so I die cut the base in pink - once on the fold and a second time as a single layer to overlay and hide the fold. Then die cut the watercolor piece to nest over the pink base, tied with a bow and added a few clear gems.

Lovely sympathy card. Such a nice sentiment and the water colored flower is such a pretty image. How nice to make such a special, shaped card for your neighbor.
