Here's my card:
Obviously, I was inspired by the super sweet color palette showcased in the photo. The buttery yellow, soft pink, and sage green peaked my interest and I started there! I adhered the three colors (PTI Lemon Tart, Sweet Blush, and Spring Moss) together and then cut the panel to a size I liked. Then, I used PTI's Delightful Doilies set to stamp this striking black doily image in the corner of the panel. The sentiment "Thinking of You" is from this past years anniversary set from PTI called Botanical Silhouettes. I adhered the panel to the Rustic Cream cardbase and scored a double line above and below the panel.
This one is going out in the mail today to my Grandmother who is battling a lot of pain right now. After losing her mother just a couple of weeks ago, she also lost her sister this week. I'm hoping that receiving this card in the mail will help her to know that I'm thinking of her and praying that her pain subsides with time. Missing my Great-Grandmom, missing my Aunt Sandy, and worried terribly about my MomMom and how she's feeling. Sometimes I really hate living so far from home.
Thanks again for all your kind words and support and thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my work! It means THE WORLD to me. See you again soon!
