A few gals from this fabulous blogging community had a brilliant idea to put together a blog hop for Cath, the personality and mastermind behind Moxie Fab World, as she is gearing up her journey to get well from some recent shoulder pain. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to join in! Here's to you, Cath, wishing you well!
I was inspired by the modern and graphic inspiration photo over at the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge to make a cheery get well card. I stamped the leaf image, from Vogue Abode, repeatedly in white, mint, teal and yellow chalk ink and the created a banner sentiment from Sentiment Sampler. A bit of May Arts Natural Burlap String and a hand molded flower finishes the look.
Wow look at that beautiful card!
