Get well soon ~ card swap
On the "shack" I signed up for a Get well card swap, I never had one to hand when I need one. Here's what I came up with using a layout that I found on sheet load and using up some of my stash of papers and cardstock in my collection. The stamp is from a hobby craft set which was a gift from my good friend Sue (aka Artyfarty). I coloured the image using my caran dache water colour pencils and added a little bit of stickles on butterfly which isn't showing up in the photograph.
