I had to give this some thought. I'm glad I did because I came up with something that interested me.
My earliest memories of her: seeing her beautiful sapphire engagement ring; me about 4 months pregnant with my Liz, lying in bed watching the wedding (they would have celebrated 40 years this past July); her funeral.
I looked at images of her, hoping for some inspiration. I didn't really want to do fashion because, truthfully, I didn't love most of what she wore. She certainly was an icon though and would have made wearing a paper bag fashionable. I still remember thinking as she got out of the coach, 'her dress is so wrinkled!!!!'
Then I remembered the remake of Sir Elton John's song 'Candle in the Wind' and there I went. The background and sentiment are from the PF set called Bright Night Sky. I stamped it with three DOx colors (including chipped sapphire), spritzing with water. I also splattered with some of the same colors. I embossed the vellum with a rose ef, since he called her an 'English Rose.' I also stamped the circle with a rose type flower, added a candle, heart and some gems.
I think she was a person I would have liked to talk to. Prince Charles, not so much. I think her boys have done pretty marvelously, considering.
