Floral Wishes

Hi, I’m back after a break of a few weeks. My daughter had major surgery in another city and I went with her as her support.  I took some white die-cuts with me and some ink cubes and spent a little time ink-blending. The flowers used in this card are some of those die-cuts.


This card uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches where this week our sketch hostess is Kim Singdahlsen. I wasn’t feeling very crafty after a busy and stressful few weeks so this card isn’t my best but it’ll do. 


Thanks for visiting. Please check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.

Products used:

Stamps:  Sentiment Strips (Altenew)
Ink:  Versamark, various Altenew and Pink Fresh inks
Cardstock:  White, Fog (SSS), Cement Gray (MFT)
Dies:  Garden Wreath Add Ons (Spellbinders), Anytime Tags, Stitched Mats Rectangle (Lil Inkers
Accessories:  White EP, Grand Stream Washi (Altenew), Autumn Pearl Stickers (Honey Bee Stamps)

Cheers
Karren

Wishing your daughter a full recovery. As for your "it'll do" card, it's beautiful. I love the greys and the colourful flowers. x

I love the beautiful pop of color in the bouquet on the various neutrals - especially the fun stripe down the middle!

This is a beautiful card! I love that pop of color against the gray. A reminder that brighter days are ahead after your few stressful weeks. I'm praying your daughter is healing well and things are getting back to normal.

I just love your spin on that great sketch and those flowers and greens are just lovely with the grey tones! I hope all went well with your daughter's surgery too, she's lucky to have you with her at a time like this.
