A sad farewell

Hi!

    Thanks for all your beautiful comments & good wishes on my last post regarding my decision to sell my cards & give part of the proceeds in aid of the leprosy center (MALC). I just hope my plans as to how to go about selling the cards materialize once I discuss the same with a lady who I know would be able to guide me further. 

    After almost a week of being ill, I’m here today to share a card I’d made in April for the principal (a nun & a  friend to all teachers) who got transferred to another school. The card measures 8.5” x 12”, so all the teachers could individually sign in the card. I got all the signatures first, then completed the card, showed them and placed it in an empty Lindt chocolate box which I covered with light purple glazed paper and tied it with a broad satin ribbon in dark purple. I forgot to picture the box in all the rush. But here are some pics. of  the card. 

Here's a close up of the words and... 

a close up of the embellishments. 

The words are from a Hallmark card I’d received from my colleagues almost 19 yrs ago. I altered the words slightly, made my own digital version, printed it and cut it into an oval. All papers used for layering are coloured A4 sheets. The embossed paper is from India. Other materials used are lace, ribbon, flowers, leaves, handmade wines of green wire & punched butterflies to which I added 3 tiny rhinestones for the body & diamond stickles for the wings. 

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:
