Today's card and envelope was the product of a challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers called Teapot Tuesday and a time to play with some Fred She Said images. You can find out all about it by clicking here. I love to play this challenge as the purpose is to send our cards to a total stranger who is dealing with mostly health issues.
This week we are sending our card to a 22 year old new Mom who is going to be away from home for a month receiving "killer chemo". Our mission was to make a CAS card and a kit for Lindsey to make a card just like the one we sent her so she can send it on to her loved ones. In other words, we are going to make a card maker out of her....lol Oh Ladies CAS is just not in my vocabulary....and something I just can't do!!! This is as close as I can get. So what you see above is my card and envelope and in the cello bag is my kit. I was thinking that Lindsay may not have a lot of tools to work with, so I did everything except put this together. I distressed, cut, layered and paper clip everything together in the order she needs to do it.
Now for the recipe:My image is from "Fred She Said" called Fall Flower Collection. My sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers.
Spellbinders: Round Scalloped Nesties, Circle Nesties, Parisian Motifs
Punch: Martha Stewart Butterfly
Misc: Pearls, Sage Distress Ink, Stickles, Ribbon, Brad
This is one of those easel cards that has the extra piece added on with a brad. I hope you like it. If you find it in your heart to bring joy into a strangers life, come and join us at the Teapot Tuesday Challenge at SCS. It's lots of fun. See you again soon. I have more Fred She Said images that I have been working on and more Mark's Finest Papers this weekend!Challenges Entered

Gorgeous set Carol! Love the circle shapes, the dies... the sponging... and the lovely flower image. Your coloring is amazing. :o)
Beautiful card and what a great idea. If this wonderful card can't make a card maker out of her, nothing will!!! Such a thoughtful thing to do.
