Sending Get Well Hugs & Wishes

Hi everyone! I'm back today as a guest designer for Inkspirations by Makeesha Byl. This week is Inspiration Challenge #17; a very lovely table setting.

I was inspired mainly by the branches and the lovely vanilla, white, and kraft colors. The wine glasses in the photo inspired me to use rhinestones as flower centers. I used my Big Shot to cut "branches". Even though the inspiration photo doesn't have dots, I was drawn to this paper again. I cut the paper in a shape that reflects the table shape.

Here are the other design team members:

Cindy

Kirsty

Renee

Chantelle

I made this card for my Aunt Christine. I've mentioned her before. She was in the hospital last week because of pneumonia. She's been fighting a rare form of breast cancer (Inflammatory Breast Cancer) for a few years. During a PET Scan, they discovered that she had fractured a few ribs from the violent coughing. She'll also have to start some stronger chemo very soon. Inflammatory Breast Cancer is a strong enemy, my dears!

Get Well Wishes - Digi Papers By Fee Jardine

I never make Get Well cards, so I thought I would try to add some to my inventory. This card is a hybrid card. All the patterned paper is from a digi pack by Fee Jardine called Fallin 4 You Mixed Up Papers from Sweet Shoppe Designs.

Because of my home network (PC upstairs & Mac downstairs), and my printer is hooked up to the Mac and depending on where I print from, the browns in the digi pack became grayish. I didn't mind; I like it. I miniaturized the designs of the digi pack by printing the paper as if each sheet was a wallet-sized photo. Love the versatility of digi papers! I used my 1" square punch to create my mini quilt card. I did some faux stitching to add to the quilted feeling.

Thanks for stopping by!
