One of the LSS I frequent had a 50% off sale on all their DP this past weekend and this lovely Melissa Frances DP was one of my finds. The sentiment panel uses Verve's Classy Label Die and I layered it with a lacy nestie. Since I don't own any lace (second note to self: make sure you get some), I used the Martha Stewart daisy punch to create a strip of faux "flower lace" down the side. Lots of half pearls and a few butterflies later, I called it a card.
This card is going to our Music Pastor's wife who is currently battling cancer. She has had a rough go of it lately, and I want her to know our family is praying for her and her family as they walk this journey. Love being able to personalize cards for people and hopefully touch their life in some way by doing so :)
