Hello and welcome 
There's been lot of tears during this last week
l for one could not believe it when Her Majesty the Queen
Was pronounced dead it just didn't seem real
She to me was every body's granny and of course Mum 
Such a sad time and what a wonderful sent off she had
My heart goes out to her family and all the people who adored her
Mourning has ended in the playground 
Now onto the challenge which was delayed because of the above
It's now up and running and here is my card for the challenge

Items used 
Scalloped cream card lot smaller than l usually use
Snippets of background papers /red card stock
Hand cut the flower image and used 3d pads to enhance the hight
Added a few gems and stamped the Sentiment
Challenge
Thank you for your time 
Sandra H

Love the dimension on your flower head and the gorgeous paper background

That's a lovely flower!
Lots of dimension!
My grandson who lives in northern Alberta (he's 5) asked his mom why we weren't at the Queens funeral.
I said to her, yes, why aren't we in England!?
She will be missed.

I think so many of us expected the Queen to be there forever, she's all many of us have known and just seemed like a constant presence.

The bloom on your card is beautiful.

A beautiful car Sandra - very much like a true English Rose - which we lost with the death of our wonderful Queen. Only now can I type about it without welling up with tears!

Hugs
