On Friday afternoon a group of retired ladies get together for bowling, most are friends that worked together at Woolco/Walmart, no prizes, no pressure the only thing we strive for is reaching a 100 count in pins for the game, we do have over-achievers that double that goal, a lot of laughs and a great afternoon with friends. The one of the staff has had surgery and I made this card for all of us to sign and have it delivered to her. I love my ancient Stippled Rose stamp from Stampin'up, it makes for a quick card in a hurry.
I really had trouble picking a colour for the rose, I'm sure I went though the rainbow trying to decide as my favourite colour is purple but not everyone is a fan so teal/turquoise came to mind but when I sat down with my markers picking out colours I spotted the coral and it was decided.
All layers were cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched and scalloped rectangle dies. The Thinking of You is a sticker sentiment from Starform, in my stash for eons, the small sentiment is perfect as not to overshadow the focal point.
The sentiment I found on a verse page and thought it was perfect.
Thanks for looking today, stay safe and stay well.

So nice, Barb! What a thoughtful card for your friend, and it's a beauty! My goodness, I think I may have that Stippled Rose stamp in my old SU stash! It's gorgeous! I hope your friend will be better soon and back bowling with the gang, sounds like a fun time!
Beautiful stamp, beautiful colouring - and perfect for your friend. Nicely done!
