Thank You Card
Not much chance for cardmaking lately. Hubby had outpatient surgery & Fritz hasn't quite healed up--probably got his activity restriction lifted too soon. Anyway, I'm being a nurse at home. Hubby's improving every day & we're all sleeping better. Poor Fritz can't romp & jump--just walks. Tonight I finally put together a card for the 200th ODBD challenge to use Spring colors. The sketch at FMS inspired me. I used 2 images from ODBD Bird & Butterfly Labels & inked them both with the same Distress Inks (salty ocean, squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn) using a lighter touch on the top one which is mounted with foam tape. I need a thank you card for my co-worker who bought me lunch while I waited for hubby to get out of surgery.
Nice to actually use some of my
alphabet stickers that fill a drawer! I added a touch of Stickles & used white paper twine. I'm also entering the Anything Goes challenge at SSS Wednesday.
Thought it was time for another Fritz picture--he's such a cutie--not that I'm prejudiced! Hubby thought I placed the bone on his paw, but he did that himself! So glad you stopped by. Enjoy the weekend.
Gorgeous card Greta :-) the colours and whole design of this is fabulous,, love the white embossing too. I am sure your friend will love this :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely pic of Fritz too, what a cutie :-) Hope hubby and Fritz both recover quickly :-)

PRETTY card Greta, your friend will love this one. Terrific doily too. Hope hubby is doing well, sorry to hear he had surgery. And poor little Fritz, I know how the schnauzer boys love to run, romp and play!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Greta, what a beautiful card, and I really love the sketch too! Love how you've embossed the ODBD image and sponged with distress inks...a really fabulous effect! And the embossed background with the doily and twine finish off a beautiful thank-you card! So glad you were able to join us this week for the 200th ODBD Shining the Light challenge, sweet friend! And I'm glad to hear that "the boys" are starting to feel better! Been praying! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteLove these sweet labels! Beautiful colors and the doily adds a feminine softness. Fritz is a very handsome fellow and obviously very smart too! Hope your hubby is well recovered.
ReplyDeleteLooks like springtime to me Greta! Fabulous color combos and beautiful textures! Glad the guys in your home are on the mend! Thanks for creating with us again this week Greta at ODBD!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely Greta!!! But that cutie Fritz really steals the show:). You are all in my thoughts:)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Greta! I love the inked labels are gorgeous with the doily. Thanks so much for playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Greta! I love the pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteHope your husband makes a quick recovery.
AND, hope Fritz is doing well. (Sweet photo!)
Your co-worker is going to bring you a whole bunch more lunches if the rewards are stunning cards like these! Greta, not only is this lovely (the 'little scenes' are soooo pretty), but the gesture is ever so heart-warming and thoughtful! You are just incredibly sweet!! Hope your husband and Fritz are on the mend; I'm sure they are, what with the spoiling and pampering you're giving them! As for Fritz and his treat - A-DOR-A-BLE!! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone is doing well. My little guy broke his arm last week and did it ever put the breaks on our spring activities. I really like this card as well. The colors just pop and it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFritz looks so cute! What an adorable photo with the bone on his paw. He knows how to strike a pose doesn't he! Thanks for visiting my blog tonight xxx Nonni
