Rest in Peace Grandpa

Today's card was inspired by the card on the new Muse challenge blog. The stripes and the flower were my inspiration for this card for my children's Grandpa. We will miss you a lot Grandpa, may you rest in peace and be free of pain.

It has been a tough go this last week, but the release of creating for their Grandma was very soothing. Of course, my daughter and I always think things look a little better with just a little bit of sparkle. It is hard to tell in the photos, but the main focal image was lightly coloured with silver and stardust sakura pens to give some soft glimmer to the focal image. The stamps are Gina K as is the white cardstock. The black cardstock is CTMH as is the button. Ribbon and thread are from my scraps drawer. I used a swiss dots cuttlebug folder and a spellbinder die (label #16 I think).



I would also like to enter this in the Make It Monday challenge where it is always anything goes.

Warm Hugs,

    Hi Katherine, this is so elegant and I just love the sparkle on the button. Love how you have decorated the inside-hope that making this made you all feel a bit better.

    I saw it on MIM. My sympathies to you and your family. These are not fun cards to make, but when you make them with love knowing that the receiver is going to smile, it makes it all worth while.
