Here's the card I made at my mums - its for the nurses that looked after Shaun.
I've used stamps from the current release at Chocolate baroque and worked almost wholly with distress inks. I've used colours from the current colour challenge.
Here's another one following the same brief that I made before Shaun passed away.
Again the stamps are from chocolate baroque.
I'd like to enter these into the chocolatebaroquechallenge-six

Hi Rachel - so pleased you had a good weekend with the girls. It can't have been easy for any of you but take each day as it comes and go steady. I'm glad you found some more "me" time too ... that's going to be really important for you over the coming months.

You're all in my thoughts every day and I'm just sorry that I'm so far away to be able to help you. Sending you all huge cyber hugs and love ...
