A Redo!
Hi! I have a card for you today that had a bit of a make-over. The original was made for ColourQ, you can see it here. I had the focal circle images on a square card base. That never really thrilled me, it seemed too confined.
Sadly, I was in need of a sympathy card for my niece. She recently lost a good friend to an act of domestic violence. Death at any age is always hard for us. But a young woman of 25 lost to something so horrific is heart wrenching.
I added the Copic/water colored lilacs (IO) to a larger card base with a couple of paper doilies and Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins (4mm, 6mm & 10mm). The sentiment is PTI. I like the more feminie look of this card.
Thanks so much for stopping by today friends. It always brings a smile to my face to see you have spent a bit of your day with me. ~Lisa

I'm so sorry you were in need of a symphony card :-(, a very sad situation.......But a beautiful card Lisa!
So pretty and feminine!
beautiful sympathy card, lisa... what a terrible situation! my heart goes out to your niece!!
What a sad thing to have happened!! This is a stunning card. I love the way you offset the stamped circle with the maroon card stock and that doily. This re-do is lovely!!
So tragic & hard to understand how people can be so evil. I loved the first card, but the re-do is even more beautiful, Lisa! I really love the aqua layer & your use of doilies!
I liked the original, but your eye for design just made it even more beautiful, Lisa, with a little 'breathing' room for that gorgeous circle of lilacs. I am so sorry to hear that your niece has experienced such a thing in her young life. So sad for that young girl's family, isn't it? you have the most loving, caring heart, my friend... xx

Such a sad situation, Lisa. But I know that this lovely card will convey compassion and caring, and hopefully ease the way a bit for its recipient. Love the little touch of the doily peeking out!

An awful event that prompted such a beautiful card, Lisa ... the delicate doily, the soft blooms, that lovely sentiment ... everything about it is so comforting. Such a lovely way to support your niece through such a difficult time. Hugs, Anita
