Wishing you Well

Anyone watch American Idol last night? I think they're showing too many bad acts. I'd like to enjoy some serious auditions. After a while, the bad acts just frustrate me because people aren't taking it seriously. I think it's because they're not finding as much talent as they usually do.

Anyway, I made a few cards while tuning in. Here is a card that could be a get well card or an encouragement card. I read the sentiment either way. I used ColorBox chestnut ink and LOVE it! The coverage is amazing! I usually use the chalks to distress the edges, but recently purchased a mini ink to try it out. It has such a rich color. You have to let it dry because it can smudge easily. It's very similar to Stampin' Up's Craft inks.

Stay warm (if you live in a cold area)!

Instructions

9. Adhere oval to cream cardstock.
