Thinking Of You

 Hello,

And another weekend comes to a close. I hope everyone had a relaxing one. Mine was low key. Dinner with friends Friday evening, some sewing yesterday to make a throw-pillow cover and some stamping today.

I had not yet made a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, and time is running out, so I spent this afternoon making this card. 

The background panel and the paper the images are stamped on I made some time ago using various stencils, my gel press and an ink removal technique. I made a bunch of panels one day and these are two of them. The printed card base is a piece of pink pre-printed card stock from GKD.

For the inside, I used a smaller butterfly and a sentiment from another SSS set.

My aunt is recovering from a fall where she cracked some vertebra in her upper back and she's been in severe pain, so I'm hoping this card helps to cheer her up. I'll get it in the mail tomorrow.

Enjoy your Monday, and thanks for looking in.

Colleen
