Feel Better Soon card

Gorgeous Garden Die, Paper Florist dies, Wanted to Say dies

Layering Leaves - Inner card view

Detail view

Yesterday I had the pleasure of crafting with friends.... just for fun!  Truly..... the friendships is one of the biggest blessing that stamping has brought to my life!  Today, I am taking the time to be grateful for these friendships.   

Personally, I need to send out a get-well card today, so I chose to use the Wanted to Say dies for the first time.  The person I am sending this card to loves green and yellow, so it was easy to customize the card to their specific preferences!  Besides that, the colors are truly up-lifting.  Perfect for a Feel Better Soon card!   I just love that I can customize my cards to each person..... I love that about my stamping and cardmaking.

Layering Leaves - Wild Wheat wreath

Layering Leaves



Layering Leaves - detail view

Layering Leaves - Inner view

Today I am participating in the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop.  This month is a sketch challenge with a focus on an in-color that we like.  I chose Wild Wheat.  Originally, I wasn't a fan of Wild Wheat..... then a few weeks ago, the Young Womens Choir sang at church and there was a young lady wearing a cream colored dress with Wild Wheat flowers all over it.  It was really beautiful.  Since then, I knew I just needed to pair it correctly to suit my specific aesthetic preferences.   The color really is everywhere right now..... and it is growing on me :). I purposefully did not add a sentiment to this card so that I could use it for anything.  

Be sure to check out the live links, listed below, to see everyones interpretation of this Blog Hop challenge.

  • Card front and inner message liner - Very Vanilla: 3 3/4" x 5"
  • Scrap to stamp and punch 8 leaf branches - Wild Wheat.

  • 12" Pebbled Path Jute
Assembly instructions:
