I used the image with the bird and masked it off so I could put her on these steps. I watercoloured the image and distressed it. I added the butterfly but haven't coloured it. I resisted the urge to distress the papers - I wanted a faintly grungey look, but not too shabby, but did distress the flowers. I sanded the coredinations papers and added metallic eyelets. The sentiment is from a Take That song - couldn't stand them 1st time round, obviously I am mellowing! I distressed the tag and added a couple of butterflies.
The idea is to put some photos round it at angles ... just need to summon up the courage and get a box of tissues before doing the pictures thing!
We're off to Vicky's this afternoon to celebrate Edward's birthday - so I will be back tomorrow moring with the March Sugar Sugar project and my WOJ GDT card - well I won't be, hopefully the scheduled post will work!!

What a stunning and fitting tribute to a dear friend. She must have been so young - how tragic :o( You have honoured her memory so beautifully though; she would be proud!
BTW, I have to say, I love your blog background!! :o)
