Over the weekend I received news from one of my best friends that her husband died suddenly at the age of 34. My friend is 37 and can you believe that this is her second husband to pass away. Too sad...
She has a little boy that turned 1 this month too and he has lost his dad at such a young age. I am still in shock and obviously saddened by her loss.
Here is the card I have made her
I tried to keep it quite simple but a lot of thought and effort went into this one. More than usual.
I used a stencil and texture paste to create the background. Once dry, I replaced the stencil and sponged gold ink over the top.
I stamped my butterfly in the same ink and embossed it with clear powder.
The sentiment was also embossed.
A few gold and black splatters finished it off.
"Take care my friend. You are in my heart and in my prayers."
