In the past two days I have heard of the death of two friends. This card is actually for an ex colleague, with whom I worked for about 20 years, whose wife sadly died yesterday. We met socially too so I do know his wife.

This is a very simple card. I computer generated the sentiment and printed it onto white cardstock. I matted the spray of lilies onto cream then green cardstock and mounted it next to the sentiment. I then matted this onto green cardstock and mounted it onto a white card blank.
The second card I am struggling with because this is for a friend I have known all my life! I know his wife is devastated but also glad he is now pain free. I will show this later no doubt.
Fortunately the snow appears to be thawing at long last!! Let's hope we don't get more for a while yet.
I hope you all have a good day!
love and hugs from Christine xx

Hi Christine, don't know what I have been doing the last few days, I seem to have looked toosts but not commented on them all. To loose two friends so close together is so sad and your card is so lovely and must have been painful to make. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
