Happy 2021, friends! Kicking off the year with two great challenges to combine. An encouragement card is just what I needed today. I just found out that a former coworker has been in the hospital with COVID complications. He spent 11 days in a coma, but he's in rehab right now and looking forward to getting home tomorrow. I started to make him this card with the snowy background for the Free for All challenge, but it ended up a bit girly, so the card on the right will go to him. The one of the left started with a bubble wrap stamped background that I smeared paint (and some glittery paint) over. The one on the right is a gelli print background that I made using dahlia leaves. I stamped French Script over both of the backgrounds and applied texture paste through some stencils. The sentiment is from this bundle that had been a weekly freebie on The Hungry JPEG. It's printed on metallic pearly cardstock. I'm really glad to be able to send this card to my friend.

Awesome card and a true statment. So much texture and goodness in your cards. So happy your friend is on the mend.

Both of these are a feast for the eyes. Your friend is going to know you really care to send him such a beautiful card. I love all the textures. Praying he'll quickly be back to his old self. What a scare! Thanks for playing!
