Wishing You "Well"

Sometimes you just need a pretty card - And there are some really "pretty" images that are new from Alota Rubber Stamps - now these images can be used with our cute stamps too, but they are perfect for just a simple card. You can see all of April's new images HERE and they include flowers, beach and baby images!



For my card I started with the new "Magnolia Blossoms" image - just love how versatile it is! I stamped it onto a Daisy D's sky pattern paper, then colored with my Copics. I matted it with a brown coredinations card stock and sewed around it with a zig zag stitch over and over. My background pattern paper is from Graphic 45, it is matted on green card stock and sewed down as well, I then used a Martha Stewart border punch with a scrap of white card stock.

The well is one of my all time favorite Alota Rubber stamps "Wishing Well". I have always loved it, and use it for many different cards. And the sentiment "Wishing You Well" is well.. perfect! I colored the well with my Copics, then cut out and put onto the card with pop dots.

Hope you like it.... Can't believe it is already Thursday - wow this week has flown by! Hope you are having a good week and have a great weekend planned.. it is almost here!

    Like it? No, I don't like it... I LOVE IT! This card is really awesome! Great job on all the details, the stitching, the MS border, and the Magnolia limb over that paper - Wow. And the well is just perfect. I'd love to receive a card like that.

    Hugs, Linda
