Hope You Feel Better



I'm back with a clean and simple card to share using Melissa's new All About You stamp set.  You may have seen this card on Nichole's blog today.  I just love these colors together.  I started this card by stamping my background pattern on my simply chartreuse cardstock with ripe avocado ink.  Then, I die cut a white rectangle using a nestability die.   I love the polka dotted "You" and paired it with a couple other stamps in the set to create the sentiment.  I added some stitching around the edge and adhered it to my card using foam adhesive.


Then, I stamped my flower and leaves on white cardstock and cut them out.  After adhering the layers with foam adhesive, I added some glossy accents to the flower center to make it nice and shiny.

We have been getting some sunshine finally and it has been such a wonderful change!  I hope the rain stays away for awhile and we get to keep the sunshine! 

Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping and for leaving sweet comments that always make my day!
Niki
