well it has been a while...lost the mojo for a bit...nothing like having to make a card to boot you back...i am making three thankyou cards tonight. it is with sadness though that i wanted to make a sympathy card for my colleagues from last year who unfortunately experienced the loss of Angela, a very lovely lady who was part of the learning support team i worked with last year. I am happy with the result..yes i wanted it this black..the slight glimmer has not been picked up in the shot but my inspiration was from a scene from "The Forsyte Saga" .. the death of a relative and how people dressed for funerals in the bygone era...elegant but very much black all the way. I hope you agree. Angela... I am blessed to have known you xx
