Lean on me

Years ago I got a wonderful vintage photo from Betty. I printed it and saved it and recently I came by it and thought of a new way to use it. This time I made a big card with it for one of the elderly people of Church. 
The stamps I used come from a Simon Says Stamp stampset with the name:"Beautiful Flowers". Used both in front and in the background.

Used Distress Inks to stamp the flowers and to color them. Paper I used is from a Watercolour Pad by Søstrene Grenes. 
As always as I look at this photo, I think how special it is to have sisters or friends who are there for you when you need it. 
And always I hear the words of the song in my head as sang by DC Talk: 

Sometimes in out lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow, but if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long, till I'm gonna need, somebody to lean on.

Thank you for visiting!
Much appreciated!

  1. Oh Leni - what a surpise to see that photo i sent you - must be at least 15 years ago. Love how you used it with those gorgeous flowers - adding them to the background is a wonderful accent! i always thought a sentiment of "Lean on Me" with that photo would be good to send to someone who needed some encouragement.
