I had cut this dotted frame for another project, but didn't use it. It was laying on my craft table when I dropped a scrap on top. I liked the way it looked and that became the inspiration for this card.
Wanted to keep the colors very light pastel so it doesn't show as well as it does in real life. I stamped the Grand Flourish bg onto the green cardstock. It's very subtle but it adds a nice texture and breaks up all the plain cardstock. The rose is die cut. Glued everything down and placed the butterfly near the bottom because I had moved the sentiment up and it needed a filler.
A friend is leaving this month to return to her home town to take care of her ailing mother. It is a very bittersweet journey for her: sad to leave friends, activities and the life she has created here; sad that the reason to go home is her mother's illness; but, glad to be reunited with family and childhood friends. This card will be filled with my affection and good wishes for her safe travels and strength as she helps her mom during this very difficult time. TFL
