Sending Hugs..

Hi All! Happy Thursday to you! hope you all have been having a Great week! Mine's been pretty good so far and a little busy, but in a good way, I've been getting those Christmas cards completed.. I am hoping to be done with them by the beginning of Dec..lol Wish me luck! 8-)  For today however, I have a card to share that I sent off to my Dear Sweet friend who is home recovering from surgery, so it's en-route as we speak.. 8-)  And I just had to use the Beautiful colors the Fabulous Ladies of CR84FN chose for their current color challenge #42  this week..

Is this a Pretty Pretty color combo or what! 8-)  And here's what I came up with.. Sure hope my friend likes it and it brings a smile to her face...

My main BG panel was created with kraft CS from my stash that had been painted with my SowCap paint dauber and run through my CB with the Victorian EF, and then sanded a bit so the flourishes would show through.  The remaining BG panels were made up with a combination of dp's from MME's All Girl stack, Chrissy W's Lizzy Mae digi dp's and the help of my MS border punch.  My Waltzing Mouse Sentiment was stamped Onto a SB Labels 14 Die cut with Memento Tuxedo Black and shaded up with touch of MS Primrose Pigment ink. To finish it all up, I just added a some seam binding ribbon and yummy bakers twine both from MAD Stamper Finds, a Pretty Prima Rose and a few Sweet pearls for the corners...8-)

Hope you all have a Terrific Day & Thanks so much for dropping in! 
Thanks for stopping by!
