Thinking of You Card

Unfortunately one of the strongest women I know has been going through hell over the past year as her rock, her husband, has been battling a very aggressive form of bladder cancer, which has invaded many other organs/parts of his body. Although I have kept up to date via their posts on his CaringBridge webpage, I try to send Rosemary an email and card from time to time so she knows they remain in my thoughts and prayers! Below is a card that I recently created and mailed to her.

To create the front of the card, I cut out a purple square that I used as the middle layer of the card. I placed it on top of the white card and then cut out a smaller white piece of card stock and embossed it. I then stamped, "thinking of you" in gold and used a butterfly stamp in three different colors.

I stamped an appropriate sentiment inside using embossing ink/powder in purple and then added an additional sentiment in blue ink. I kept the card very basic and did not want to overwhelm the card as it was a serious card.

I didn't include a picture of the envelope since I just used a regular white envelope from the notecard kit. I stamped the envelope with a "miracles" sentiment.
