Relax

Here is a quick card for today. My little one has a bad fever. He got sick on July 4. .. and it is my fault :-( it totally forgot a sweater to take with us and it got really cold.

I do not have that nice big cattail stamp that is in the Summer Sea collection :-( but i had some DP i could sort of make work. However... what should i say .. i just ordered that stamp - what can you do? It's an addiction lol. I added to the leaves some stickles and sewed 2 times arround the card to give it more interest and texture. Love, love, love the new ribbon slot punch from Martha Stewart - i used it already quite often. The sentiment is a stamp found at Archivers.
Thanks for swinging by today. Have a wonderful day :-)
Love Claudia
