A Get Well Card

This stamp set has been in my personal collection for ages and I don’t think it’s ever seen the light of day until now. I made this for a dear friend who is convalescing at home after keyhole surgery three weeks ago. I took my time with this one, as she’s a fellow crafter and […]

I {Heart} Hearts, Vintage Vogue
