Thought I'd share my last 3 cards posted on IG. First is a Valentine for a friend made with Poppystamps Grateful Heart & Double Stitch Scalloped Rectangle Frames. 
The Distress Oxides are spun sugar, worn lipstick & picked raspberry. I used white gauche for splatters & added some Shimmer Pico Embellisher dots. 
I added a couple layers of cardstock for just a bit of dimension under the heart panel. I'm entering Poppystamps January challenge & DRU.
Next is my entry for Gina K January Monthly Mix. I used 2 GK sets: A Big Hello & Sketched Wreath Builder. I never think to stamp flowers in black on colored cardstock, but I do love the result. 
The embossing folder is Cuttlebug Anna Griffin's Rosa--one of my favorites. I'm also entering The Flower Challenge & Time Out. Time Out wants a card that shows something about yourself. I have lots of rose bushes & bought my first die cutting machine when I learned they could be used for dry embossing. At the time I said I wouldn't buy any dies, but we know how that turned out!
My last card is for ITP PTI Sending Love challenge. I stamped PTI Corner Adorner: February in Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry, Green Parakeet, Hawaiian Shores & Cocoa Bean. 
I stamped 2 words of the included sentiment & then Love from Poppystamps Grateful Heart. The frame is PTI & I added splatters using several of the inks instead of my usual brown or black. 
Stardust Stickles covers the flower center & the tiny heart in the sentiment. So glad I had already made this card. It was just what I needed to send a note to my sister-in-law & nephews.
Three really lovely cards. I am so sorry to hear about your brother, that is very traumatic and even more so as he is younger than you xx

Greta I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending prayers and hugs to you and your Family. It is good you are still able to post and perhaps this will keep you busy for some of the time-one day at a time x Your card for Time Out is stunning. I love the flowers in black and it goes so well with the coloured card base. And now we know more about you-rose bushes and using your die cutting machine for dry embossing-exactly the kind of thing we wanted to know about you! Again, sending hugs and thanks for still supporting Time Out in these times x
