I hope you're doing ok. I know I'm still so shaken up by the shooting in Las Vegas. I want to hang on to my kids a little tighter... feeling like we all need a big hug today!
My therapy is crafting.. it can't fix the world, but it help mends me. I can send cards to family and friends to let them know I love them and work through my own troubles while I'm creating.
Today I'm playing at Freshly Made Sketches. Here's the sketch for this time. It's got lots of possibilities.

I took a few liberties with the sketch. Instead of one big background I added a few layers. Empty spaces still scare me.
All the products I used are from Pretty Pink Posh. The Scallop Circle is the focal point for my design. I added a sentiment from Birdie Friends on a Stitched Label. I love the repeated pattern of stitches that tie the die cuts together.
The florals are from the Bold Blooms stamp set. I added little pearls to the flower centers. A bright yellow strip of washi adds a pop of color to the grey / monochrome background.
