Thinking of You

Good evening peeps

I had a really sad phone call yesterday.  My cousin rang to ask me to make a card, a friend had lost her baby at 38 weeks pregnant, the womb had burst and she had spent the last few weeks in a coma.  I have never heard of this happening before and can't imagine the pain for everyone involved.

I have gone with a clean and simple style with the sentiment of "Thinking of you".  The stamp is called Willow Tree from Inkylicious.

Other materials used are:

Other card stock

Purple Centura Pearl card stock

Presscuts square nesting die set

Nellie's Choice Edging ED004 die set

Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad

Memento Lulu Lavender ink pad

Memento Lilac Posies ink pad
