Butterfly Wishes...

Hello friends!
As always, after church, there is a need for cards. This week, we have a friend with a broken hip, and another who has been diagnosed with cancer.  So, this afternoon was spent doing some quick sponging and stamping.

This card uses Hero Arts Stamps - I just sponged with distress inks, and stamped with the darkest of the greens - peeled paint.  The inside sentiment says "that God will keep you in his care".

This is again stamped with Hero Arts stamps.  I inked the top butterfly with Memento Daffodil, the next with Stormy Sky Distress Ink, the next with Spun Sugar, and the last with Dusty Concord.  I pounced Rusty Hinge on the center and different spots with a small sponge dauber, and then stamped.

This is some very old stamps that I've had like, forever!!!

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs & smiles,
Patti J.

Loved all 3 of these beautiful cards. Sad to say, we all seem to have to deal with these issues lately. Your friends will be cheered to know you thought of them, and enjoy the artistic creation of your lovely cards. TFS
