I started by making a mask with some scrap paper and a square punch. I used it to make the background with distress inks before stamping and embossing the Donna Downey flowers. The sentiment is also embossed. The fancy border is the edge of a Spellbinders borderabilities die that I've otherwise never used, but I like how it looks here.
I'm joining in on today's Unity Friends with Flair blog hop. I'm also back tomorrow with the newest Snarky Stampers challenge... hope you'll come back! :)

Really beautiful card. The recipient will definitely appreciate it
so pretty, I love the soft colors in the squares
love your card :)
Beautiful card.
Nice job with the distress inks. It looks wonderful.
Gorgeous card. Sorry that it's for a sad occasion. Love the layout, the stamps and especially the colors...so serene. I might have to CASE this one (when I find my cardmaking stuff).
This is such a jaw dropping card, Lindsey! Wow! How gorgeous!
I have found that it is a good idea to have a few sympathy cards already made - makes it much easier
thanks for sharing

What a stunner! So pretty!
That is perfect masking & inking - I love the colour transitions! And me too I had to make a sympathy card. Sucks. You never have quite the right one when you need it.
Very pretty, Lindsey, especially the soft blended colours in your squares.
