My husband's grandmother, Rachel, is feeling poorly, and I thought I would make her a little card to cheer her up. She's a plucky gal and we hope she feels better very soon. I was inspired by two challenges for this card, the sweet sketch from Simon Says Stamp and the fun inspiration photo challenge at Jay Gee's Nook.
I loved the red gingham ribbon from the photo, but alas, I didn't have any! Lucky for me, I had this gingham patterned paper, which I paired with a doily, something I've never used before. I die-cut some pretty blooms and added some buttons and hemp twine to my cute lady bug, all to let Grandmom know that we are thinking of her.
