I recently received some very sad news about one of my old patients of whom I looked after for some 8 years. he has been diagnosed with a very nasty Cancer and his prognosis is not favourable. When I left my old job, he made me a beautiful clock and barometer hanging piece from scratch. It (like him) has not missed a beat.
I saw this card on SCS and thought I could tweak it a little to suit this chap's personality and flair for woodwork. I came up with this...
And here are the close ups of the motif and sentiment.
I was a little unsure about using the square pearl/gold brad in the centr of this, but I am happy I used it anyhow. I love the 'shadowing' of the River Rocka nd the Soft Suede. It is a very rare card that does not have any Whisper White of Very Vanilla in it. the final step to 'bloke' this up was to distress the edges of the River Rock CS just a little.
Also sorry about the sun glare in some of the pics. I have been playing 'chicken' with the breaks in the rain and finally the sun came out briefly....so I took my chance and grabbed it.
Thanks for stopping by.
