Two Tone Floral Thinking of You Card – February CC2C

Let’s take a cross country trip from here in PA to Karen Hallam in CA for another CASEing (Copy and Selectively Edit) crafting adventure.  This is a fun collaboration between Karen and I that we both enjoy each month.  I hope you’ll join us and enjoy it, as well.

This month was my turn to choose our direction. Our theme is “You should frame that”.  And here’s what I came up with…

By this time of year in the Mid-Atlantic, most are over the winter and so ready to move on to Spring.  And I’m right with them.  So for this card, I pulled out SU’s Two-Tone Floral stamps and dies to create a pretty Thinking of You card.  I also used my favorite color combination which is light orange or peach and blue.  The specific inks here are Pale Papaya (ret), Pumpkin Pie, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy. The two step stamping process was precise and easy using the Stamparatus.  The frame is MFT’s Rectangle Frames and the sentiment is from SU’s Climbing Roses (ret) stamp set.

I’m trying to be more intentional in my card making this year.  By this I mean that I want to have a reason to send the cards that I make.  I’ll be sending this to a friend that I reconnected with after many years who suddenly lost her husband several months ago.  I think it’s nice to send these cards periodically to let friends know that they’re on your mind.  Hopefully, it will brighten her day!

Thanks for traveling with us today and have a wonderful Wednesday.

Take care,
