Get Well Mum

I made a quick card for my Mum today. She has been in hospital since Thursday night, suffering from high Blood Pressure and very irregular heat rate (atrial fibrillation) and her speech has been affected, so I'm not sure if she's also had some bleeding on the brain. We haven't heard from a Doctor since Friday morning, so we're putting the pressure on to get some feedback!

At first I was not able to sit down and create because I was feeling so anxious, but It is a good distraction.





I used a mix of Distress inks, Heidi Swapp Color Shine and Brushos and the dies are from Memory Box Sonora Rose. The sentiment is from Kaisercraft and is stamped in black and clear embossed.
The base card is embossed with a We R Memory Keeper's folder.
I am entering this card in the following challenges.




Anything Goes

No Rules


                                                       
                                                                               

I sprinkled some ink!
