Such a beautiful card, Karen. Love the soft colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Karen :) Love that die cut border you used and everything else about it.
ReplyDeletebeautiful card! TFS
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card, Karen! Nothing pleases my eyes more than pastel blues and greens together. I don't have the hydrangea bundle - and I don't know why because this flower is so pretty! Hydrangeas here in the north are the white ones but I remember my dad's beautiful pink and blue ones. Such sweet memories! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Karen. It is a comforting card with the serene colors but the hydrangea shows spring too. I’m sure it will bring comfort to your friend. TFS
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Karen! Love the soft colors for spring, perfect with the hydrangea image! :)
ReplyDeleteNo one knows the anguish brought by the loss of a child except those of us who have experienced it. Your card is perfect! The soft colors are calming and will hopefully will bring a little peace to her spirit.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! My fave flowers!! It's a sad thing to need a card for - and I am sad that YOU also have experienced that loss. I do know that your friend will get.a smile - and a moment of relief - when she receives your card. :)
