Thinking of You sentiment, Tied ribbon, Yellow flower centers
This card is for a Senior Citizen who sustained injuries from a fall and is even more isolated than ever. She loves purple colors and flowers. I stamped the flowers in Gorgeous Grape and used pastel chalks to color the image, which gives a soft, subtle look. Die-cut into a stitched rectangle. I used a Pale Plum card base with Certainly Celery polka-dot DSP to aid in my ongoing attempt to use up retired papers. Stamped the T and Y sentiment. Tied ribbon into a bow to embellish. Finished off with Wink of Stella on the Yellow flower centers for some twinkle. This precious lady is saving the cards she receives and is reading them every day while she recovers. My card is on its way to her. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful...not just the stamping on the green and lavender BG but the perfectly chalked flowers are awesome. Love the striking font on the headline and the sweet bow is an excellent finish.

This is so lovely and how thoughtful of you to send her this. Yes, our ongoing thing to use up retired papers, I had to smile at that. Same here! The pastel chalks give a soft and dreamy quality to your bloom!

The ultimate in simplicity with those lovely colors. I think the tiny ribbon bow is the perfect addition!!

What a special card this is and for an older person, Diane, and in the colors she likes too. So pretty and a nice simple sketch, which is easy on the eyes~
