One of my nurses was in a car accident last week,  car totaled but she is OK!  When she got into the ER they discovered that aside from being banged up she had pneumonia.  Needless to say she is pretty ill, I talk to her daily and as a typical nurse she is asking me how her patients are.  


I thought this card might cheer her up, especially since she is a dog lover.  Image is an oldie by DeeDee,  colored with Copics, Basic grey DP,  Tim Holtz distress inks, Spellbinders die cut,  lace and bling and button from stash.  I love how the sentiment is on a tag that goes into a hidden pocket inback of the image.
