Women of Substance Card Series

Hello everyone, As I was cruising some of my fav sketch challenges for creative inspiration, I found this sketch that inspired me to create a card series of each of the women on the maternal side of my family as a way of leaving a little bit of family history for my young niece. This is the first card, size 6 x 6, and on the inside is a biography of my grandmother. Our culture seldom post things anymore via post, so I hope my niece finds these cards in her mailbox as little gifts. I used the Blue Fern Garden papers from Blue Fern Studios to create the textured background as added some pieces of old lace, stamping, gesso, mist and stenciling too. The little apothecary jar name plate is a chipboard piece from Blue Fern Studios.
Thank you for taking a look, and I'm already working on my second of the card series.
