Thinking of you, Denise

Happy Wednesday!
Yesterday I said I would be back today with a card that had a hidden agenda. Well, that was kind of a play on words. I have a card today that is a hinged card with a hidden message. And, the reason for the card has been kept secret all week. All the Design Team Members at the Stamping Vacation Challenge blog got together and decided to make Thinking of You cards for our Team Leader, Denise Clark. So, this is your card Denise!! We all want to let you know how much we appreciate you. And, that we hope you have a lovely day today!



For the card, I used a Magenta stamp called Bird Tile. I watercolored it with H2O's and sprayed with Shimmer Mist. CS: Barely Banana, Certainly Celery (Stampin' Up); Light and Dark Aqua. Dp: DCWV. The sentiment is from Verses Rubber Stamps. Here is a detail of the Birdie stamp.
The hinge is hidden below the bow. Here what it looks like opened up.
And a detail of the hidden message.

The card opens up in the regular manner with another little sentiment inside and a hand written message to Denise. I have also put this card in the snail mail for her to enjoy.

All my fellow design team members will be posting "Denise" cards to their blogs too. If you would like to check out their creations, here is a list of their blogs. And, join us by posting your own "Someone who needs a hug" card in the "To Who" Stamping Vacation challenge and be eligable for the $25 certificate to Flourishes.
