Get well soon with Morning Meadow

I am absolutely bowled over by some of the hostess sets* this year! Have you seen them? One of my favourites is Morning Meadow - and I guarantee you'll be seeing quite a lot of it here! For my Three Minute Thursday card today I made a one layer card for a friend of mine who is recovering after an operation. Come and see:


The heavyweight cards in the wonderful new note card and envelope set on page 162 of the annual catalogue are perfect for quick one layer cards. I stamped one with the two floral images from Morning Meadow...


... and added definition with an Early Espresso marker. I love how one image shows through the other, giving an interesting textured effect.


The sentiment is a real favourite of mine from Hopeful Thoughts. Using a marker to ink it up enabled me to use just part of the sentiment and a stamp-a-majig helped me to stamp it straight!

* Stampin' Up hostess stamp sets are exclusive designs at bargain prices that are usually only available to customers spending £150 or more or those that host a qualifying workshop but members of my Stampers 6 club get to choose them in their 'hostess' month if they want to.

    I hadn't really looked at the hostess sets until I saw your gorgeous card and realized that that flower stamp works with the Pansy Punch that I got in my first order!!! It's a gorgeous set - thanks for showing it off!
