The Project:
Today's post for me is hard.
I have just in the past couple of days lost my precious baby nephew, and although I know I will see him again, my heart is aching so much right now. Seeing this card in particular is hard for me, because as I was making it I was thinking this would make a beautiful sympathy card - but didn't have a reason to make one at the time. Unfortunately now, I have the task ahead of me of making what will probably be the hardest sympathy card ever to make.
With that said, I really do love how my card turned out. It is clean with just enough dimension for a bit of interest. There were hundreds (maybe thousands) of people praying for my nephew Roscoe over the past 10 or so months, and so I would like to use today's card as a "thank you" for all those prayers.
Prayer is powerful.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Tifany, I'm so sorry about your nephew. It's never easy to lose anyone and a baby is very difficult.y prayers are with you all. Your card is stunning
Hi sweet lady! I love your card.!! The color is wonderful. The neutral delicate leaves make that Caribbean just jump off the page!!!
Ps. This should have been first.. so hard to find the right words.. so sorry to hear about Roscoe. I saw his beautiful face for the first time yesterday. I know how loved and precious he is. You were both blessed in your time together. Big hugs and love to you Tifany.
This is a very sweet card. I love the color combination of that gorgeous blue and beige.
Tifany, I like it, yes I do. I love white space and you really drew my eye to your fabulous card. The layers make the dies look like a beautiful bouquet. Love the color you chose for the twine. You used it in a way I would not have thought to do. Great job!
So sorry to hear of the loss of your nephew. Losing a child seems the hardest of all losses. The card is beautiful. It will be treasured - even though it was used for a sad, personal occasion.
Take heart that he is in a better place and you will see him again. He'll be watching over his "auntie".
