... I heard yesterday evening that my friend's husband died - he had been ill for a while, and my friend had to close her shop to be with her husband. Sadly, I didn't hear until I spoke to her yesterday. So I've made this card for her and gave it to her this morning.

my own card made for the For Your Inspiration challenge - I thought the leaves and verse were just perfect. However, I did change the colours, my inspiration coming from
Kim and
Lynne (at the bottom of the post). Actually, I can see this design working in other colours too - shades of brown, green, grey and lavender would all work beautifully. And I think Claire's verse is just lovely.
Stamps: Penny Black - Japanese Maple; Waltzingmouse - Irish Blessings
Inks: Kaleidacolour - Blue Breeze
Spellbinders: Classic Squares Lg (S4-126) die #7
Accessories: Martha Stewart punch; Card from stash
That's all for now. I'm just about to head off to the local cinema to take Kathryn to see "Monte Carlo" starring Selena Gomez. Kathryn absolutely adores Selena (she's one of the young actresses in the Disney studio) and it look like it could be fun. Light, frothy stuff - a fun way to spend the afternoon. Afterwards, we might even have a bit of time to pop into Hobbycraft for a quick look round - no buying of course!!!!
When I get home, I'll have some time to play in my craft room. I've got a few cards I need to make - and soon. Birthdays coming up!! See you soon.

Hi Deborah, This is perfect, I love the colours and the way the variation of colour suits the image too, good choice! The stamp and the sentiment couldn't be more fitting. I think I might just need that one! I hope the cinema was fun, Gay xx
