Memories

My dear friend Eleanor lost her husband  late last year.  Speaking from personal experience, I can attest to the fact that the first year is very much the hardest.  Being mindful of a dearly loved one's passing can be a comfort, so naturally, a card was called for . . .

 

The original design was for a single layered card front, but I can never resist adding more dimension.  The leaf die set included the leaf veins, so I covered them with my favorite textured embossing powder and that made the design much more interesting.
