Wonderland Wishing You Well

My poor sister-in-law suffers from terrible migraines and actually had to be hospitalized this week so I wanted to send some get well wishes to her. When I saw the colors at CR84FN, they struck me as being very soothing and I thought they would work nicely for my card. I actually like them for any type of card and I think I will try to use this design with a different sentiment for a couple of birthday cards I need to make. I also used the sketch at Mojo Monday for my card's layout.

Here are the colors for CR84FN:

This is my first easel card and I used Beate's video to help me along. I also used my Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the flowers, the circles, and the ovals. I was in the mood to roll flowers today!

So Grateful - Heart 2 Heart Color Challenge

Happy November everyone! The last part of October just seemed to go by at lightning speed!

I unfortunately lost most of my files from my computer due to a virus (even though I do have an anti virus program). The main files I am really missing are my lesson plans from last year so I am having to take some time to rework those. I had just bought a memory stick to back up my files but, of course, didn't! Also some pictures of a couple of projects which I had hoped to post got lost as well. Sigh...I can retake them but I decided to move on and do something new!

This week the challenge at Heart 2 Heart is a color challenge: Terra Cotta, Juniper, Bamboo.

Captured Moments is one of my favorite stamp sets but I haven't pulled it out too much so I thought I would play with it today using these colors. I also used Harvest Happiness with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the leaves up top. I decided to sponge the Colonial White panel, which has the main image stamped on it, in all three colors. What a nice palette for a fall themed card! 

 Supplies used: (C1423) Captured Moments stamp set, (C1463) Harvest Happiness stamp set, (X7139B) Typeset Level 2 paper pack, (Z1248) Juniper Waxy Flax, (Z1249) Sorbet Waxy Flax, (Z697) Round Sponge, (Z1686) Art Philosophy Cricut CartridgePin It
