I am still struggling to get well and feel better but got some inspiration to create today's card. I was inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast and the these straws from More Sprinkled Joy Etsy site:
I began by using the Embossing Folder Stamping Technique for my background. You can find the technique for this HERE.
I inked up my folder with Distress inks (Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters), sprayed with water and pressed my paper into the wet ink. When that was dry, I stamped the flowers and the sentiment from Rubbernecker. They just have the most wonderful sentiments!
Also adding my card to these challenges:
Addicted to CAS- ORIENTAL
Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
Time Out Challenge- Inspired by the word 'LOVE'
Sister Act Challenge- ANYTHING GOES
Crafting at the Weekend- ANYTHING GOES
Thanks so much for all the well wishes and for taking the time to come and take a look.
Supplies: stamps- Rubbernecker/ SU Embossing Folder/ Distress inks/ Memento bl. ink/ Mini Mister/ fine tip black line pen

This is a gorgeous card. I keep telling myself to try that embossing folder technique but when I sit down to craft I don't think of it. I hope you can conquer your illness soon.
