I finished this earlier today except for the greeting. I was going to make it a birthday then I had a call from my aunt that my uncle had passed away. My aunt & uncle are twins so I'm sending this to her. So I guess my card is more a celebration of his life than a sympathy card. He hadn't been sick, in fact he played a LOT of golf & did a LOT of bowling, but life is like that, I guess.
Anyway, I didn't have as much washi tape as I thought but I found a couple w/ black patterns, some pink & pale green & some black glitter so that's what I used. It was embossed w/ Swiss dots then framed w/ a pale mint green & the greeting added.
The inside has an Abraham Lincoln quote w/ a rose bush image & says "We can complain that the rose bush has thorns or rejoice that the thorn bush has roses." My aunt will get that..we can cry that he's gone or rejoice that he lived.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog now w/ closeups & the inside: The Write Stuff

Stunning card. Love all the different patterns with pink and black. The embossing is something I haven't thought to do. Love that design element. So sorry to hear of your loss.
