Vintage Botany Meets Digi Hybrid for Last-Minute Memorial Gift

My dear friend's father passed away on Monday. He would have been 93 today. Our neighborhood is getting together to purchase something as a memorial for him, and they also wanted to present her with a poem. They sent it over to me this morning to "pretty it up" a little. I thought it was such a lovely sentiment.

Sometimes when the wind blows, I hear you whisper to me, "My Spirit is alive. My Soul is free. My love is as near, as you need me to be."


I needed it today, so I stylized the poem in Photoshop and sized it to fit in a 5x7" frame. To add an image, I simply opened my files from the Vintage Botany Digital Hybrid collection and incorporated the dandelion. Perfect!

After printing onto Dk. Kraft paper and matting it with black/ivory/black paper, I created an envelope from the 12x12 Vintage Botany Ivory Print with the help of my Envelope Punch Board.
