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.
The paper used for the envelope is one of my favorites from the collection!
Have a creative day . . .
