This is probably one of the quickest cards ever made. Brenda, over at Friends Craftin' With Friends posted a card the other day where she swiped mini ink cubes across the paper and then added this gorgeous die......go take a look at her card as it's a beauty.
Anyway........I needed a sympathy card and I usually always do a "thinking of you" card instead and even those are so hard for me to do. So, I took a friends advice and did a super quickie CASE because I need to get it in the mail this afternoon!
I swiped three colors with the mini distress ink pads, stamped a Technique Tuesday flower image, and added a Sugar Pea Design sentiment........done deal and it's headed to the post office! This is a very poor CASE of Brenda's card but like I said - I needed something fast!

Oh Lynn, it's a beautiful CAS and I love the bright cheerful colors which is sure to bring smiles. Lately I've been doing thinking of you sentiments for sympathy cards too, because it seems more personal. Now I simply MUST try this technique myself - I love it! I love those great floral images too!
I think this is an excellent CASE of Brenda's fantastic card, Lynn! I loved her card and I equally love yours with the softer colors and pretty stamp!
Beautifully CASED Lynn, don't apologise for such a wonderful card!!

I, too, loved Brenda's cards and this is a beautiful card too. I like the colors you used and such a lovely stamp. I think "Thinking of You" is so appropriate for so many cards.
It's very pretty Lynn! I love the colors you've chosen to swipe and the floral image is perfect for it! Brilliant CAS!
So glad you tried out Brenda's swiping techique! I think it's fab and I'm going to do a few more..your card is gorgeous hugs x
WOW!! Such fabulous CAS! LOVE the design and the fresh colours you choose! The flowers pop so well from the swiping! Absolutely delicious! I have to try this, such great inspiration for quick cards!!!
