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!

Can't remember if I've already commented, but if I have, it deserves a second one anyway, so here goes... I LOVE this card! Your tiny dots are your signature style and it must take so long. And they look so good! I love everything about this card. You are amazing!

Oh my, you are causing me to cry reading about your mom and all her nurses. I know these nurses are loving all your cards - and I'm sure it is helping them to take better care of your mom. I do hope she is better (haven't read otherwise yet). My mom went to be with the LORD 11/22/2003 and I miss her terribly sometimes. Good luck with your mom; hope I find out that she is better. Your card is the best - anyone would love any of them you give them. tfs Wanda
