Less Is More #368

Is is any wonder that my teamie from The Flower Challenge has flowers as her inspiration as we CASE her design at Less Is More?  Here is Aileen's card.
She used Copic markers on her flowers but I decided to just stamp mine.
The layered flowers are from Altenew stamped in their inks.  Before placing them on the card I embossed a die to make a frame and then cut the SSS word die several times with the top layer being a shimmer paper.

Blue is such an appropriate color for my post today with all the news that has saddened my heart.  Ken's brother-in-law passed away yesterday after falling off a roof.  The skull fracture and internal bleeding were so severe that there was little chance of recovery. Then this morning I got the prayer chain from church and a dear elderly lady friend fell yesterday and broke her hip, wrist and fractured her pelvis.  Just one of these injuries is a lot for a 90+ year old and having gone through it with my mother I know the toll it takes.  It goes without saying that I will be offering up a lot of prayers today.

Your cards are pretty Bobby, wonderful shades of blue! I'm so very sorry to hear all of this sad new. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Such a beautiful card Bobby, your layer stamping is perfectly done. I so struggle with my layer stamping that my altenew layer stamps tend to sit and wait for me to get inspired. Love the blues you used.

Im so sorry to hear about your brother-in-law, my thoughts go out to you and your family and to the poor lady who has had a fall as I know what you mean about them being so frail. Lots of hugs Aileen
