Friends with Flair-Sympathy Card

I just got some horrible news last night, one of my frends and former DT member at CropChocolate Jenn Koss passed away.  It seems so surreal that we were just chatting a couple of days ago and then this happened.  She was a very funny and kind hearted person, and an huge twine addict.  She loved bright and vivid colors and loved, loved twine which is how this card came together.  As the mother of 4 boys (including triplets) she never liked pastels or bling which are my favorites.  I wanted to do something I knew she would like so I picked a color of cardstock I knew she like (I made her flowers from it before and they were her favorite of the batch) and twine to match. 


Supplies used:  Unity Artisan Stackers, Flowers, Shimmer Paper, Twine, DCWV Cardstock, Spellbinders Bracket Borders
