The background was stamped with the Confetti leaves stamp that I love so much, using the gorgeous autumn palette of Always Artichoke and Cajun Craze with an added zing of Lucky Limeade.
The sentiment comes from the wonderful Hopeful Thoughts set and says 'Thinking of you... please know that I care'. I inked up just the 'Thinking of you...' part of the sentiment with a Cajun Craze marker before stamping, then cut it out with the Decorative Label punch. The edges of the label were given a quick sponge with Early Espresso ink and then it was attached to the card with dimensionals.

I must say, I'm not a fan of going to hospitals or doctors surgeries and it takes something quite major to send me off there. I do appreciate a good 'doctor' joke however...
Patient: Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a dog!
Doctor: Dear me! Well, lie down on the couch and let's take a look at you.
Patient: Oh no, doctor, I'm not allowed up on the couch!
See you tomorrow!
Hugs,
