Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Orchid Opulence, Sage Shadow, and Kraft....
Well, confession time..I had only 1 scrap of Kraft and it had a GIANT circle cut out of the center...That's why it is a MAT! LOL!
The focal image was stamped 3 times. Twice on Whisper White (the head was cut out and added with dimensionals!) and once on Orchid Opulence, (I cut out the heart!)
The small scallops are a SU! punch. The circle was cut with the Coluzzle. The large scallop was cut with a Nestibilities die.
I sponged the edges HEAVILY to get a richer color. The Sage Shadow layer was run through the Cuttlebug.
I colored the HodgePodge Hardware with a Sharpie and added dots with a Signo Pen. I used Rhinestone brads to adhere it to the card.
The ribbon is two ribbons layered. I got them both at the Offray Ribbon Outlet in Hagerstown, MD.
My mom was taken to the ER yesterday and then admitted to the hospital.
After waiting for over 12 hours in an ER bed for a room, I, unfortunately, had to become "Ms. Hoffinstinkle." (She gets things done!) Mother was FINALLY put in a room, and after having a "talk" with her new night nurse, I'm very pleased. I made this for her!

Faith, hopefully today will be a much better day for you and your mom! Mr. Hoffinstinkle sounds like "THE WOMAN"! Take care and gorgeous card- I'm sure the nurse will be very touched (at least she better be!).

HAH! You cannot convince me to buy this set because I am already planning to get it. Lovely card, I like how the colors look on here and your popped-up lamb's head is too cute although the words don't sound very cute when you say popped-up lamb's head...
Anyway, I hope your mom feels better very soon and is able to get out of the hopsicle PDQ. I hear hospital food is icky, and that's probably the least of her worries! Sending good vibes your way.

Sorry to hear about your mom. I am sure the receiver of this card will have her socks knocked off. I hope and pray that everything will go as smoothly as possible for you and your family.
