I took the woodgrain from the counter and the white flowers on the table along with the pink from the fridge and came up with this card -
I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder (which has since retired) for the texture on the background. I stamped the flowers and leaves from Altenew's Peony Bouquet set from their recent release. They have beautiful layering stamps at Altenew and I can't recommend them enough. They make you look so professional without having to try! I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder on vellum. I've been finding myself in need of sympathy cards lately, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to build up my stash a little.
Lovely ... just lovely! I like the soft touch of colour on the largest Peony and I agree with your comment about Altenew products (outstanding quality/beautiful images!).
