Long Time...No Card

It has been awhile since I have been able to make some cards.  There has been a lot going on in our family including and 2 night stay in the hospital.  But do not worry everyone is great and healthy now.  So I am trying to get back into a routine of making cards. 

I was asked by one of my co-workers to make a card for another co-worker who had just been released to go home after having a double mastectomy.  I did struggle with what saying to use but decided "Sending You Happy Thoughts" was a fitting choice.  I made an easel card to with Challenge #52 on the Sew Many Cards blog.  I designed the card to be very large so their was plenty room for many signatures and wishes.  The final size of the front of the card was about 8 1/2 by 11.  It was dark when I finished so the pictures are not that great, but they will work.


Here is a close up of the saying where I stamped all the butterflies and flowers, then I added flock to the flowers and glitter to the butterflies.

The card was loved by everyone that signed and hopefully it will be displayed and make someones day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Ciao!
