This card is for the Ways to Use It challenge to make a get well card. I made it slightly more generic, so I could use it to cheer someone up even if they weren't actually ailing... It's also for the color challenge to use Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry and Mossy Meadow, and the USEIT2015 challenge to use stamps that have never seen ink. I have TONS of those, so I used three of them on this card. I'm also trying to use papers that I've been hoarding and tools that are dusty. Off to a good start, eh? Hope I can keep it up...

I love that colour combination, purple intimidates me personally, but these two colours are what my very wonderful primary school teacher wore most. What an elegant bow, and a lovely hummer too!
Yes, it was you and Francine between you who triggered my Purple Onion spending spree! I thought I'd bought all I wanted but I see I still have a small wish list, rolls eyes.

So, so pretty. Of course I love the color combo, but the first thing that caught my eye was you lucious looking bow! It's beautiful. TFS Love that sentiment stamp, too.

Sue, these colors look marvelous the way you put them together. Your layout is terrific, and I am so glad you finally inked up your humming bird. Beautiful image. I need to ink up MANY of my stamps. It is a sin how many stamps I have and yet they sit begging to be used :-(. You created a gorgeous card!!!!!
