Get Well Soon

One of my Aunt's is recovering from a fall that resulted in a broken finger.  I'm so thankful that she didn't have more serious injuries, but surgery was required.  So, this card is going out to her...along with prayers for a quick recovery.

I'm playing along in the Moxie Fab World, Trigger Tuesday challenge.  Take a look at this inspiration photo.  The design of this room is contemporary, but I can still see feminine touches in the colors, the wall sconces and the flowers.  So, that is where I drew my inspiration from.

The layout of my card came from THIS card I saw on Laura's blog at Doublestick Heaven.  Don't you love that name?  I knew I wanted to CASE her card eventually, and somehow this challenge card felt like the right place for it.  I knew I wanted a block of pink (from that wall in the photo), with accents of black and yellow.
This is what I created.

Ekkk!  This is one of those cards that turned out just as I had seen it in my mind.  Don't you love when that happens?  Hmmm...it would be nice if it happened more often...lol.
I created the flower from some So Saffron grosgrain ribbon, using a technique by Beate that I found on SplitCoastStampers.  It was so much easier to make, than I had thought it would be.  And took just a couple of minutes.  I finished off my ribbon flower with a small black gem.
The sentiment is from a PTI set that I recently purchased.  I'd been eyeing that set for a while now, and finally caved in and purchased it.  I'm so glad I did!  It's a large set and I can see that it will get a LOT of use.

Thanks so much for taking a look today!
