My brother’s MIL passed away yesterday after a valiant battle with cancer and dementia. She was a wonderful Nanny to over 20 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren, and always kept us in stitches with her sense of humor. She will be greatly missed. The Stampin Royalty sketch 116 was perfect for my card:
I used some Spice Cake DP and Creative Elements and Established Elegance to make a collage-style creation in Pool Party and Crumb Cake:
I added a couple of scalloped borders, and I fussy cut my panel and added a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Some little pearls were my only other embellishment, as my SIL is creeped out by buttons!! A funny phobia! And since I stitched both my main panels, my card qualifies for Linda’s Catered Crop this week, too, which is “In Stitches”! Thanks for visiting today!
