Almost one year ago (on May 9th) my sister and her husband lost their baby girl. My sister had 3 1/2 weeks left of her pregnancy and the baby passed away. It was so devastating. I was able to go and attend the funeral services and see their sweet baby. She was beautiful. Ten delicate little fingers, our family's nose, and lots of dark brown hair. There was absolutely nothing wrong with her.
I wanted to let my sister and her husband know that we haven't forgotten about their baby, so I made her a card.
I stamped the swirls with white craft ink on cardstock vellum and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. I colored some flowers from the Pretties Kit with Pretty in Pink ink and added white pearls to the center. I also added a row of paper piercing around the edge of the Shimmery White cardstock.
In some ways I feel like a card isn't enough...I should do something more. Then again, I think the best thing someone can do is remember those who are no longer with us. I love and miss you Marguerite.
