Thinking Of You

I created this thank you card for our pastors mother. She recently fell and has not been able to attend church lately. So I wanted to make her a thinking of you card to let her know we miss her.

 

The sketch I used is from this week's challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I rotated it one turn to place the flower in the lower right corner instead of the upper right corner. 

I started with a white card base and covered it with a piece of distressed aqua dotted patterned paper.  I cut a smaller piece of the same patterned paper and backed it in lipstick card stock and then again in white card stock.  I added it to the card.  I cut two pieces of distressed raspberry patterned paper into two sizes. I backed each in hawaiian orchid card stock and then again in white.  I added both pieces to the card. 

I colored the image (Rosy Posy from Lily of the Valley) using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I distressed the edges of the image and sentiment using pink chalk ink and then just a touch of chestnut ink.  The distressing is for this week's challenge at Delightful Challenges. I backed them both (image and sentiment) in pearlescent aqua card stock and then again in white card stock.

I added 3 pieces of aqua baker's twine down the card next to the image.  I layered a burgundy paper flower onto a white paper flower and added an aqua rhinestone to the center of it.  Then added it to the bottom corner of the image.  I added the sentiment at an angle so the edge was tucked behind the top of the flower. This week's challenge at Lili's Little Fairies is flower power.  I also added 3 mini aqua rhinestones to the smaller strip of patterned paper at the top of the card.

In addition to the challenges mentioned above I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
