It's that time again, yay! July's Blog Hop with Papertrey Ink is another gorgeous inspiration photo:
Isn't it dreamy? I want to curl up in that window seat with a good book! Sigh . . . Here's the card I created based on this inspiration:
And the inside:
Yep, it's another get well card, just like June's Blog Hop! This one is for a friend who broke her shoulder on the job (she's a nurse). She's on a morphine patch while waiting for surgery, and I feel so bad for her. Hopefully, she'll get a little boost from this card!
This is actually my third attempt at a July Blog Hop card! I had an elaborate idea that came to me when I first saw the picture. I drew a sketch and brain stormed ideas. Then I sat down to make it. Um . . . didn't go so well. It looked hideous, actually. So I broke out some different stamp sets and moved things around and . . . nope, still hideous. :-D I decided that it wasn't meant to be, but at least I could use the elements to make Barbra a get well card. Well, once I stopped trying so hard, the card came together quickly and still reminded me very much of the inspiration picture! Woo hoo!

Just magic! So glad you persisted. I am sure all your wonderful sketches will come in handy...eventually. ;-) I love what you settled on. That embossed burnt orange semi circle is so alluring and something I'd never think of. The shaped tryptych is pretty nifty too. Love the woodgrain...ah heck, I love everything about this card. Great hop card and more!
