Thinking of You (handmade card for a friend)

Hello everyone.  I know that it's been a while since I've posted anything, but I've been really down in the dumps since our little Pepper passed away & along with other set backs, I just haven't felt like creating.  

However, I was very honored to have been asked to share well wishes with a very sweet lady who is ill.  
She really needs to know that her friends are thinking about her and praying for her. 

I made her a card & pocket-envelope using Blue Fern Studios Spring Parade paper collection.  
The pocket-envelope is 8-1/2" long x 6" high.  
I used Sweet Grape colored seam binding for a little handle.  
My favorite color is purple, so I wanted to share a little piece of me with this dear lady.
Rub-on glitter butterflies and a pretty white pearl swirl piece completed the envelope decorations.

The card is 6" x 6". 
I decorated the front of it with Spellbinders Victorian Medallion Two, die cut in white cardstock.  
The "Thinking of you" sentiment is printed on BFS paper; die cut with Spellbinders Victorian Tags
adhered with foam tape for dimension and placed to the left bottom of the medallion.
It's edge inked with Wisteria color.

Decorations were completed with a small arrangement of pretty roses from Wild Orchid Crafts
Tattered Lace rose leaves die cuts; floral fussy cuts from the BFS Spring Parade collection papers; 
and lilac pearls along the printed lace edge. 

I wrote a personal note inside the card for this dear lady.  I've blocked her name for privacy purposes.  
I sure hope she starts feeling better soon.



Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!
