Mojo Monday 460-Sending Happy Thoughts

Happy Monday!  It's time for a new Mojo Monday sketch.  I put together a sweet design that I'm sending off to my former office mate who will starting a new position soon so that she'll know I'm thinking of her.

I started off by picking out the patterned paper for the strip that runs the length of the card. Once I had that on out my table, the rest of the card came together quickly as I found other papers to coordinate with the colors in the striped plaid pattern. 

The large rose circle was in my scrap pile, so I added it to the pale blue card base over the patterned strip.  For the sentiment, I used the "sending" die from WPlus9's Sending, Hoping, Wishing Word dies to create a dimensional element for my sentiment panel.  I cut the word twice--once from cardstock and once from craft foam. After layering the die cuts, I adhered them to a pale gray panel, then stamped the "happy thoughts" sentiment from the coordinating Sending, Hoping, Wishing stamp set below in aqua ink.  I added the panel to the cardfront along with a narrow golden yellow fishtail flag strip.  A transparent pink button, tied up with a scrap of twine, completed the design.
