This week the teaparty is for John and Lisa in New Jersey. They lost their sweet daughter after many medical problems at age 27 on January 2, 2014. Marie asked us to make sympathy cards and/or cards with angels. So I used the only angel stamp I have.
I also used the very pretty colors this week assigned by Karen for a Blushing Wild Primrose. I couldn't quite get my Copics to the right color, but it is fairly close. There are stickles and pearls on the centers of the flowers, butterflies and dragonfly and stickles on the angel wings.
I did debate whether or not, this angel stamp works. What are your thoughts?

No matter what age, a child is still their parents little one. This is lovely and so sweet..I'm sure it will be cherished by the parents. A precious and thoughtful card.

Kathleen, this card is so difficult to make, and I think the angel works wonderfully. She will always be their little girl. This should bring them comfort. Thanks for the happy mail. I will be sending you a message later tonight.

Kathleen my friend, this is so beautiful and tender. I love all the distressed edges on each layer and your colouring is wonderful. The greenery completes this beautiful card, and I am sure this will touch the hearts of Leanne's family.
