a different card for once

Hi everyone, I had to make a sympathy card as my boyfriends aunt passed away last week. Tomorrow the funeral will held. I didn't wanted to make it in black, as Valerie was so full of joie de vivre. So I chose copper as the main colour combined with some darkbrown, creme and black. The stamped rose and the sentiment is wet embossed with copper as well. The sentiment is written by hand. 

It was a bit different to take a picture as the background paper with the swirls on it is glossy.

Have a wonderful and sunny day today!

Crafty Calendar Challenge - Spring

Hello and happy weekend everyone. February is over and so here we go for another challenge at Crafty Calendar Challenge. Our theme for March is

SPRING

This month we are sponsored by

The prize is 5 Robyn's Fetish digital products of the winner's choice and may include digital stamps and digital paper packs.

Pop over to see the lovely DT works and let yourself inspire. You have a whole month to take part in our Spring challenge.

Here is my DT card. I'm not very happy with it, because of the quality of this aquarell paper. It haves too much texture and so the stamping result and the colouring as well is not what satisfy me.
