A little fanciful maybe but it is what this card brings to mind.
I love the CAS Mix up challenge this month, embossing with a die. Looking through things yesterday I came across an un-opened box of white pearlised slimline cards. Perfect thinks I for using with this technique.
The die is Mega Flourish Two from Cheery Lynn Designs. I does not get used often as it is a large die but imho very elegant. It certainly worked well here, the card is 8" x 3" so you can see how big the die is.
Wanting to keep this CAS I simply stamped 3 leaves onto yellow paper with Sepia ink and carefully fussy cut them. My Granddaughter and her Partner are waiting for the results of a Covid_19 test. Following a week-end at Center Parks they have both gone down with sore throats, loss of taste and smell + a high temperature. Fortunately they live together so will be able to self isolate together with her mother leaving shopping for them outside their front door. Izzy likes CAS so this will be their joint get well soon card. Me oh no I'll be fine they live 300 miles from me!
