Hello bloggers, Hope you are having a good and relaxing Easter weekend... I certainly am... This is a card I have made for Rosalee's 16 year old sister who had a farming accident in Canada wherein she sadly lost three of her fingers. And here I am moaning and groaning about aching fingers and shoulders... shame on me, really! I stamped my Hero Arts flower stamp on pearlised white paper (which was sent by kind Leigh) with Jim Holtz Ranger distress ink in crushed olive. I coloured in the flowers with my gold Sakura markers. The gold cord is from my stash while the green printed paper was also sent by dear Leigh. The sentiment is handwritten - am not too pleased with it to be honest. This card could have been more cheerful and somehow it doesn't seem right for a 16 year old. I do hope it cheers her up, though. And as usual, it looks nicer in real life. Happy Easter to all of your lovely, lovely people out there. Hugs, Monica |

Monica this is gorgeous! Love the look you've achieved with the distressed inks. I'm well thank you, enjoying the sunshine that we're having at present. Hope you're all well. Take Care.
Hello Monica. This is beautiful. I love those gorgeous papers, and the ribbon along with the little hand-tied bow, is just perfect. Happy crafting.
With love, Sandra xxx
I don't even care what the card looks like and what kind of work you've done.. All I care about is you took time to do it for someone I don't think you know personally.. For that alone.. hats off... On a serious note.. great work as always.. I cannot say anything about your stamping because I have no idea about it...
this is a beautiful card Monica and i am sure the little girl will be cheered that you have made it especialy for her..
I love the way you have stamped then coloured the top part of the card...great idea

What a horrible accident she had to endure. I hope she is able to recover quickly. So Sad.
