For Cath (sans CHA) with Love Blog Hop


com·mu·ni·ty  [kuh-myoo-ni-tee]  noun, plural -ties
1.a group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists
 
 
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.
