Elegant Thinking of You card with CTMH You're Adored and Noted Backgrounds

I have my lovely playgroup ladies coming over for a crop night tomorrow night and have to do all my cleaning today as I volunteer in my youngest kiddo's class room tomorrow morning and have physical therapy with him right after school.  So while I should be doing all my cleaning and a bit of baking I'm up here playing around on my computer instead.  Ah well, I guess I'll just have to speed clean later...

This is a lovely card I lifted from my copy of Card Creations: Start to Finish, Volume 2 that I won (yipee!) from the Paper Crafts Connections blog along with a Technique Tuesday stamp set!  I was so excited to win this prize as I love Paper Crafts magazine and their books are always full of fun ideas.  I pulled this card from one of pages as I needed a "thinking of you" card for a friend whose mother is ill.

The second shot shows what the inside card looks like (I made another one as I wrote on the inside of this card before I took a picture!).  I really like the simple elegance of this card and am looking forward to including it in my "friendship" cards workshop coming up next month.
