Carnation Blooms

How did it get to be February already! I know, we say that every month but time really does fly by. Hopefully you are surviving the winter (or summer depending on where you are). Spring is not too far off and to help remind you of that the Stampendous Design Team is sharing samples using the wonderful Spring Borders Die Set (DCP1009). 

Today I have created a Get Well Soon card using the beautiful Carnations Blooms Stamp (P312) and a "get well soon" wish from Brushed Wishes PCS (SSC1272), but any sentiment could be used for any occasion.  The border is one of my favorites in the Spring Borders set, and, I think, is especially lovely in white or cream. It makes the card a little "fancier" and more delicate.
