A Spoon Full of Sugar - Get Well Soon

This week over at A Spoon Full of Sugar we are sponsored by the fabulous Whimsy Stamps and we have the theme of "Get Well Soon" for your cards. These are challenges that I usually steer away from and so it good for me to "have" to do it and this super image had been sitting in my digi file for a long while and really needed to be printed and colored :)

Cupcake Craft Room - Flowers and/or Leaves (2 entries only)

Paper - The Blossom Song by DCWV (Michaels exclusive)

This paper stack is one of my current favorites, I love the bright bold colors and the glossy accents on the paper.
Aqua has always been a favorite color of mine and I think if I was ill and received a card like this it would make me smile and would be bound to lift my spirit.
I hope you'll agree and come along and play with us at A Spoon Full of Sugar
