Welcome back, Julia...I hope you will be back in the full swing of life soon. I know how being sick can drag on and on...maybe because us Mom's don't take the time to nurture ourselves as well as our loved ones. And that's the focus of my card today with the wonderful Shakespeare quote.
Health Peace and Sweet Content be Yours
I love the challenge of frames. And thought this I Brake for Stamps bamboo image would fit nicely. I inked it with TH DI Brushed Corduroy and embossed with TH distress embossing powder in aged linen. It was then inked with chalkbox inks. The quote was stamped on PTI vintage cream with VersaFine Sepia. My pinky floral paper is Amy Butler. I cut one of the peonies free from the paper and embossed with UTEE and stapled it in position at the edge of the frame.

O4J, this is wonderfully creative and stunning. Love the hand cut flower ~ it's the perfect embellishment I must say. Heart felt sentiment is perfect framed with your IBFS image.

I love your card!! That frame is so cool and so natural looking. I love the quote you picked out for Julia and the other women you are encouraging. I especially like how you cut out a peony and attached it to your frame. Awesome!!
