Happy Thursday, all. Sadly, we lost a former church member this week, one of the godliest men I knew. He was a farmer, a millwright, a hunter and served his community tirelessly. I wanted to use the paper from Winter Meadow that had the deer image on it, and the FMS sketch worked well with it:
The Little Red Wagon challenge this week is monochromatic, so since these papers are in shades of gray, that's what I used:
I used Smoky Slate and Basic Gray for my cardstocks, although I think probably Gray Granite would have been better, although it has a brown tinge to it that I really don't care for. I did stamp a pine tree on the background and a sympathy sentiment on the front. The horizontal panel is also embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. A few enamel dots were the only embellishment.
It's sad to lose our loved ones at any time, but to lose them around the holidays is an additional challenge. I know Dave's family is rejoicing that he is in heaven, but we all miss him here on earth! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
I heard a loud voice speaking from the throne: "Now God's home is with people! He will live with them, and they shall be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain. The old things have disappeared." Revelation 21:3-4
