A Card for a Dear Friend

This card I made for a new friend of mine. We met on a Facebook game. She is a remarkable woman who has been through a lot. Since I am not sharing her name I think I can share part of her story. She is a survivor of Sept. 11, 2001. She was on the 73 floor of Tower 2 on that day that will never be forgotten. How we began talking about her story is beyond me, but I am extremely honored that she confided in me. Well we stayed up late last night/early morning chatting and I knew I wanted to make a card letting her know that I am thinking of her. This month has to be extremely difficult for her and I wanted her to know she wasn't alone.

Now as far as the card itself goes, I made it using Sweet Sketch Wednesday's sketch # 13. All supplies are SU except the flower and pearl.
I used dimensionals to raise sentiment.

I colored a white paper flower black with my SU marker.
