Feel Better Karen!!

Eeeeeek! Ain't she just the CUUUUUTEST?? Oh my goodness, do I ever love these Pure Innocence stamps from MFT. Ummm, so why have I taken so long to ink it up? Oh I dunno.... You know how that goes, "saw it, loved it, bought it!" and then it SITS!!! Go figure??? I suppose that's why they call it an addiction huh? Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!

So anyhoo, this card is for my BESTEST friend Karen who had surgery last Friday and came through it with FLYING COLORS!! Woo-hoo!! WAY TO GO KAREN!! She's a trooper alright, not to mention my inspiration to be as good of a person as she is. She's just the nicest, kindest, most thoughtful person EVER and I'm SO glad she's my friend. Yeah-yeah I know, so what happened to me, right? Hey, I never said I was a FAST learner! Pffft!!

Ok, so I stamped the image onto some Canson Manga Fanboy CS and colored her with my Copics. I matted her with some SU Night of Navy and Very Vanilla CS cut with my oval and scalloped oval Nesties. This DP is from October Afternoon's Detours collection and I finished with some cream colored saddle stitched ribbon tied in a cute bubbly bow! I'm entering this card in both the Friday Sketchers sketch challenge - here's the sketch:
