Colour Q Challenge #101

I couldn't go past this colour combo over at Colour Q this week, the inspiration pic is very "Pretty"....
I wanted to make a card for a friend that has just found out her Cancer has returned and needs to have more Chemotherapy, so I'm hoping this will cheer her up a little, being such bright & happy colours.

You may think "GET WELL" is an odd thing to put on a card for a cancer sufferer, but her favourite expression is "I'm going to get well and travel"...........


The images are from a new Stampin-Up favourite "Field Flowers" & the sentiment inside is from the "Word Play" set, the front sentiment is from another new set "Hand Penned".
I used the Lattice Embossing Folder on the front panels & the Decorative label & lge Oval punches for the Sentiment.


              " Thanks for stopping by"


                                                All Products used are Stampin-Up.

    Oh, having had two friends who battled cancer for all of last year, I feel for your friend, and for you! It is frustrating and disheartening to watch those you love go through something so hard. This is a beautiful card & I am sure it will cheer her up. I love the stamped and textured panel. Thanks so much for joining us at colourQ this week :)
