One Layer, Framed

Hello one and all! I actually made this card 2 weeks ago as I  will be helping a craft class at a long term care home where my mom is now living. At DreamValley Challanges, one could use a number of design team's beautiful cards as an inspiration and use their card to make one of your own. I was inspired by this One layer card that says "LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE" It had a heart and flourishes on the card. This is a card that I will be using for the elderly to make. It is one layer andthe flower is coloured with pastel chalks. I used a brown dye pad for the flourishes to frame the flower in and then I sponged the card with pink, lavender and a blue. It just seemed to fit this challenge and the Frame It challenge at Crafty Creations. . When I visit my mom and I see the elderly there, many do not talk and can not walk and I think of their lives and what they must have been in youth and that saying Live, Laugh, Love just seemed to hit me as I am hoping the people whom I will help next Saturday will have a little fun. Enjoy the day and every day...you never know...
