| Challenge #25 – Color Inspiration |
Hello friends!
I needed a card to give to my daughter and her husband Tom,
Soon it marks a year since the shooting in Vegas when Tom
was shot three times. I thought this sentiment was simply
stated and perfect .
My heart goes out to the families that lost a loved one, and the
many that are still suffering . My daughter keeps in touch as they all need each other.
I heat embossed my image with gold powder and watercolored with the inks below. I decided to fussy cut my image and pop it up
with foam tape to the back. I love this stamp from
Concord & 9th . Grateful For Everything
At first I didn't think I could use the colors but I ended up liking them and so different from what I normally use.
I won't go into the long story but some of you know immediately after the shooting a man in a RED PIKCUP gathered as many shooting victims as he could in his truck as he himself was fleeing the shooting. (My heavy heart and prayers are with the families of the six people in the truck with them that didn't survive, my they rest in peace.)
When I saw this pillow it just seemed happy and of a time most of us love (fall) So I bought it for Nicole and Tom and I searched for one for myself as well.
Thank you for the visit .
Hope you have a wonderful day
