Sending Joy

This card came together pretty quick.  Used one of my favorite Unity Itty Bitty stamps, Wishing you Joy.  I'm going to send this card to Maddy, who is in St. Jude's fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Check out this post if you'd like to send a little love to Maddy also.
A little late posting today, spent some quality time with my DD. Great day!  Using the sketch from the Viva la Verve June challenge, week 1.  Stamped the image a couple times on white card stock without re-inking to give the flowers in the background a softer look.  Colored the center flower with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  Distressed and inked the edges of my PP.  Spritzed the doily heart with Dylusions Ink Spray.  Sponged some Frayed Burlap Distressed Ink onto the edges of my image panel.  Stamped the sentiment on a piece of twill ribbon with some black Staz On ink.  Finished off with a button tied with twine that was dyed with Barn Door Distressed ink.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!  God bless!!
