I made this card for the mother of a good friend.
We almost could celebrate here 89th birthday, but instead I had to make this card...
The background die is from Marianne design LR0240 as are the rolled roses and Leaves LR0160.
The cross is a die from Cottage Cutz : filigree Cross.
The corners on my card are from Provo Craft.
A few Rhinestones and a fine ribbon in a lighter shade purple to finish it off.
