A card for Ethyl

A fellow blogger has made a special request for her friend Ethyl. You can read about Ethyl's terrible ordeal at Sheree's blog here.  I found this such a peaceful and soothing scene.


In case your wondering how I framed the image, I took this photo to show you how I did it.  The trick is not
to cut past the widest part of die so that you can trim it up.


This image is from Digi Doodle Shop that I colored with Copics. I framed it up as described. the background is a combo of K&Company DP, Martha Stewart punch and Cuttle Bug embossing folder. The outer matting is actually more purple but the camera thinks it knows better. The sentiment is from Stampendous.

I am entering this card in Digi Doodles challenge-65-anything-goes.

I hope Sheree get's a big response.

1st of all what a wonderful thing to do for that sweet Ethyl & what a horrible ordeal for her to have to go thru. Sounds like she is a wonderful lady & loved by all ...
Now on to the card you made for her. This is AMAZING !!! So beautifully colored it's like a picture out of a magazine. and LOVE how you "framed" it. That will be an idea I will have to "borrow" as it is a great one ...
Hugs, Janie
