Dedication To A Compassionate Person

Sadly, I found out this week that my friend passed away unexpectedly.  She had such a love for life and compassion for others.  She had touched so many lives and will be missed.

My card for entry to challenges for La-La Land Crafts and Cute Card Thursday was originally going to be a birthday card for my friend.  I thought about not finishing the card after hearing about her passing, but I know she would have wanted me to complete my card for a different purpose.  I decided to give the card to her mom for her to have in her daughter's memory.

La-La Land's challenge was to create something using any image from their store and use the sketch below created by DT member Lisa Hjulberg:

Cute Card Thursday is called "Mono Mania." Entry should focus on one main color.  I chose pink, as this was my friend's favorite color.

Here is my card for both challenges:

I used LaLa with Rose, since she resembles so much of my friend.  I used the following Copic colors to color La-La:

E35, E00, RV34, R20, B45, YG63, W1 and the colorless blender

Cardstock is from Bazzil.  Designer paper is from My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary collection.  I used my Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder for the front of the card and the background frame for La-La.  I cut the frame and La-La using my Nestabilties petitie oval and petitie oval scallop die cuts.  The designer paper was cut, also using my Nestabilities small circle and small circle scallop die cuts.  The sentiment is from Just Rite, stamped using Versa Color Opera Pink ink.  Ribbon is from May Arts.  Pearl on La-La's dress is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
