Good morning, Tuesday! It's time for a new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge! I especially loved this week's challenge brought to us by the lovely Cheryl :

Lace and Pearls! What a lovely combination!
I searched my stash and came up with what I thought would be great choices to compliment each other and the beautiful Wild Rose image from the Garden Gate stamp set. And I made two cards this week, because I happened to need two sympathy cards for friends of mine.
~
My card bases were made using Flourishes Classic White cardstock and I added some patterned paper from the Carte Bella So Noted 6x6 paper pad. To each card front I added strips of white eyelet lace and self-adhesive pearls. The sentiment from the Anemones stamp set and the roses colored with Copic markers were popped up on foam mounting tape.
I'm using this week's retrosketches #84 sketch:

So soft and pretty, Broni! Love the coloring! It's never good to have to send a sympathy card, but these are so special, I know your friends will be touched.

Your card is so sweet. You've colored that pretty wild rose so beautifully and your background papers really make the rose image stand out and since I seem to be crazy for pearls and lace you've really grabbed my attention here. Beautifully done.
