Thinking of You in Pink Pirouette

I sent this card along with one of the bereavement blankets in early December--I'm finally through the massive list of requests (whew!) and am not planning to take any more requests for a while. When I first started making them last summer it was a great way to pay forward a few of the many kindnesses we received in the wake of Philip's passing.

Since late summer, however, I've had some trouble with my hands since (they are very dry and cracked) and knitting has gotten extremely difficult for me. Until that clears up (and none of the doctors I've seen about it can seem to get to the bottom of it) I think my knitting needles will have to take a long rest.



I love the pink and black combination--the basic layout and color scheme is based on a splitcoast stamper's card, but I changed a few details like the background and stamp set used. I again used the Charmed medallion to make my own dsp (thanks for the ideas, Aunt Karen!) and Black Magic on the flower. I'm slowly working my way through the scraps of Pink Pirouette I have left (I love that color! I wish they would bring it back...sniff, sniff) and am now down to a few card fronts and some smaller scraps that I'll have to be creative to use.
