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:

This is a great card! It is so different but works well as a sympathy card. I love that textured DP and how you did those beads on the grass in the foreground. Just stunning!
