My mother-in-law had her hip replaced on Monday. She's doing quite well, and moved from the hospital to rehab yesterday. Tracy's been going up to "coach" her during her morning therapy sessions, and I wanted to send a cheery card with him today.
I first saw this Unity "itty bitty" stamp at CHA this summer, but it wasn't for sale. When I was at Buffalo Stamps and Stuff in October I snatched it right up. It reminded me of the girl on the old Morton Salt containers when I was growing up. It's hard to tell in the photo (I took this last night without available daylight) but the kraft layer was embossed with a Quickutz embossing folder--lines and dots--that made me think of raindrops. The umbrella was crying out to be paper pieced, and I ended up cutting out the bottom of the image as well.
