Cards

 

A Thinking of You card for my friend who is in charge of Infection Control at Stanford University Hospital in California. California is one of the Covid hot spots in the country. A text  a while ago to ask how she was came back with Tired. Long hours. 

The card gave me a chance to use the envelope punch board to make a coordinating envelope for the card which went well with last year's Year of the Rat stamp.  I also used some of the new Washi tape. The sentiment on the front of the card was written in faux calligraphy and the envelope addressed in my every day handwriting with decorations inspired by the stamp.

A proper Thank You card to Robin from Pink House Studios for sending me a milk frother. It's getting quite a workout and comes in handy to beat mug eggs or ingredients for mug muffins besides frothing milk.

Robin lives in Florida so the flamingo is probably trite, but I couldn't resist when I found the cut file from a project on the Brother Scan n Cut Canvas site. Dressing it in hat and mittens just cracked me up. The sentiment and address on the card is done in lettering inspired by Ben Shahn. The Ellsworth Kelly stamp made a handsome addition as did the wrap-around Ink address labels.
