Papertrey Ink October Blog Hop Challenge
For the second month in a row an autumn scene is our inspiration.
I'm glad because October's colors are rich and ever changing.
Each autumn I send my aunts and uncles a Thanksgiving card but this weekend a sympathy card was needed for a church family whose 92 year-old mother recently died in a nearby memory care home. Nell was known for her love of flowers, painting and a
beautiful spirit. I wanted her family to remember that before the dementia set in she was a vibrant, strong woman and thus the sentiment for this card.
Card Supplies:
Autumn Pumpkins, Botanical Bounty, Forest Floor: Autumn,
Meadow Greens (sentiment), Mix & Mat: Plaid die,
Pierced Feature Frames die, Spruce & Sprigs
The color of the side-folding A2 card is more greenish gray than
blue. I'm not sure what PTI color it is as it came in a pack.
Thanks for stopping by today and take a look at the other entries in the PTI blog hop!
This will be on my instagram site also - grammylovesherboys

ReplyDeleteHow sad, but you're so right we have to focus on people's lives before the dementia. Lovely card that I know will be appreciated. Wonder if that is Ocean Tides--one of my favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteBe on the lookout for some Blessed die cuts heading your way. Hugs, Greta
DeleteVikki, so sorry for the loss of your church family's mother but what a sweet card! The sentiment is perfect under the circumstances, and I'm guessing that might be Ocean Tides also. You and Karen had similar ideas with the chalkboard sentiment framed in red.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful way to remember a loved one and that sentiment is just perfect, Vikki. I'm sure her family will find comfort in your thoughtfulness.
