Stampin' Up! Dandelion Wishes Get Well Card

It's Friday and I can hear y'all who are still working saying, "Yay! Wahoo! and TGIF!" While my husband was alive, he faithfully texted our daughter every Friday morning, "TGIF". I am trying to keep up the tradition, but I fall short sometimes. When I do remember, I put an angel emoji after it. I will tell you tomorrow what I do when I forget!

Yesterday I hosted our card group. I have a friend in Virginia who is a pastry chef at a B & B so I used her recipe for a quiche. It was a success! I cut up fresh cantaloupe, strawberries, and blueberries for a fruit salad and finished with Double Chocolate Pudding Parfaits. I always try something new when I host. I think we all gained a pound! I got the dessert recipe from Epicurious.

We made four cards and I will be showing them to you consecutively, the last one being on Monday for Makeover Madness. Here's one I created for the Inspire.Create.Challenge #043 | Colour Challenge

Aud Sentiments has a Summer plus Sentiment challenge. What says summer more than blowing dandelion seeds into the wind? Did you do that as a kid? Do you do it now? There are no dandelions in southwest Florida!

I used the Stampin' Up! Dandelion Wishes stamp set for the sentiment and image. My card base is Very Vanilla, a mat of Basic Black, and a Very Vanilla panel that was masked and sponged with the challenge colors. The black rhinestone that is in the center of the dandelion is retired. BUT you can take a current Rhinestone Basic Jewel and color it black with a Stampin' Blend or a Sharpie!

For the inside, I used a sentiment from the Stampin' Up! Healing Hugs stamp set.

Both of these sets are in the 2018-2019 Stampin' Up! catalog and will be in the 2019-2020 catalog.

Thank you for stopping by today.
