Thinking of You is the Most Natural Thing For Me To Do

Hi there!

**Thrilled to share that this card was featured as a Spotlight Artist at The City Crafter Challenge**

First let me just say that this on and off rain/cloudy weather we are having is not making picture taking fun! :-) We need the rain, but if it could kindly do this at night I would appreciate it! :-))))) Thank you Mother Nature! Oh well.....

I have a Thinking of You card to share today.

I started with a Dark Gray cardstock base (Stampin' UP!) I pieced my two patterned papers together both found in my very much talked about and ever growing stash pile. A length of crochet trim was added to the upper quarter where the two patterned papers met.

A large scalloped square was die-cut from Whisper White cardstock to create a base for my focal images.   The stamps I used are from The Crafts Meow Telegram.  I die-cut a heart from burlap and applied to the center of my scalloped square embellishing with some beautiful flowers and die-cut leaves from the coordinating lavender checked, gingham paper. Some shreds of curly paper were added below the leaves which I was inspired by the photo from Color Combos Galore Inspirational Picture which you will find below. These are paper shreds from past paper trimmings that I knew would could in handy one day! :-)

I was inspired by the following~
