Yes, it really is me!!

So, I finally made a card that I can post...I have been doing cards on an as needed basis but I keep forgetting to take a picture...I finally remembered.

I made this card for my aunt in Germany who is a little under the weather...my kids adore her and told me I "HAVE" to make a get well card for her. I used one of my Bella stamps for this one since the image is perfect for how she is feeling (she has spent most of the last week in bed!!).

I chose my paper from the mountain I have accumulated (you know, the one I keep adding to!!) this one is Daisy Bucket Designs. I then went to my colour coach and chose the other colours (so saffron and pacific point) that I liked to go with it. The image is coloured in with my copics and I added some Bella orange crackle dots along the top edge of my scallop. My selection of German sentiments is pretty slim so I did the sentiment on the printer and added it to the bottom (yes, I got it right...it means "get well").
I ran my base layer through one of my sizzix embossing folders (can't remember the name) to give it a little more dimension...I think that's it for details...

Thanks for stopping by to have a look!!
