Love & Peace

Last Monday, a beloved family member of ours walked into the waiting arms of Jesus, leaving behind a grieving family. We will miss the love and mentoring they gave. With all the emotions and things we needed to do, hosting relatives, and getting ready for the funeral (Wednesday), it's been hard.
This is the card I made for the widow of the family.



I used the Waterlily stamp from Flourishes "Waterlilies" stamp set, colored in with Tombows. I used Spellbinders Ovals, Scalloped Ovals, Circle, Fancy Tags and a Fleur de Lis die, to help make the sentiment stand out. The paper is K&Co and Craft colored matting on cream colored cardstock. I added some pearls from KaiserCraft last.

The inside sentiment is from the Flourishes "Sweet Violets" set.


We have not been able to get a hold of all the family members, that is why I am being so secretive. Until we have been able to tell all of the family I cannot say anything. The loss is a great hole in our family. Losing someone is never easy, please pray for our family.
