My card today is more for a 'get well' but since I couldn't find my 'get well' stamp right away I went with thinking of you. I literally put this together in about an hour. We were heading to the hospital to see a friend of ours who took a bad fall. She is in her 90th year, and she fell and broke her collar bone and pelvis in 2 places. Bill had asked if I had a card we could use, and I did not, so this is what I came up with this morning.
I used Papertrey Ink - Corner Adorner February stamp set along with matching die. I also used PTI- you been framed oval die. I started by sponging some PTI -pale peony & green parakeet on the background. I then layered my frame on top. I die cut the corner piece as well as some extra flowers, then I stamped the flowers and leaves using pale peony, berry sorbet, green parakeet, new leaf, and harvest gold. I filled in some open spaces with some of the smaller images in the set using berry sorbet. I also added some stamped leaves under the flowers on the right side.
I have a few thinking of you stamps from PTI, but they were either too large or too small, but I did manage to find one from my Verve set that seem to fit. I stamped this using smokey gray versafine ink, I actually put it in my misti so I could stamp a second time if needed, and I did.
I added some Distress clear rock candy glitter to the centers of the flowers to finish this off.
Jean loved the card, although I think she was having difficulty reading what I wrote in the inside, but I'm sure her husband will do that after we left.
Since I still have all the ink, stamps and dies out and guess I better make a couple more for my stash and just change up the sentiment.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
PS - The Great Blue Heron above, is one I took a couple of weeks ago along the creek in town.

Pauline, your card is the cutest, most cheerful thing for your hurting friend. That's quite a fall she took! "Thinking of you" works for so many occasions and is good to have on hand for times like this. I can hardly believe you made this pretty card so quickly! Cool frame die and I just love the flower corner with the tiny flowers sprinkled around. Beautiful sponging and colors. I'm in awe of your heron photo, too! You've developed quite a talent for photography!
So sorry to hear about your friend but I've no doubt that this warmed her heart. It's so pretty and I can't believe you made that in an hour! Lovely happy colours and the flowers are lovely!
Very soft and pretty, which is perfect for a get well. I like the sentiment and the soft feeling. Great die cuts and the sponging is perfect. I am sure they appreciated your thoughfulness.
I'm sure she just adored your thoughtful card and it's pretty colors. Hope her recovery is smooth. Again...LOVE that pic!
You used such pretty, peaceful colours and lovely striking flowers together, and I’m sure she loved it - how awful at 90 to be struggling with that kind of injury.
