When I heard that Wax Fruit Company was one of the artists offering a freebie for the Freebie Digi Challenge at the CDAC this week, I made a beeline for my laptop and printed this sucker up!  As soon as I colored it, faster than you can say Copic, my 11 year old daughter comes over to me and says..."hey Mom, that would be pretty cool with a "seed" sentiment of some kind".  Sparks flew and the lights came on -I knew I had an awesome sentiment from TLC like she was talking about, that was featured on TLC's blog for free that would work perfectly.   And so, the Mojo returned and stayed for awhile.

After making the card, I realized that it really can work to send to someone "just because".  I know so many online and "real" friends that are bearing and enduring some kind of cross at the moment.  I think its a sooped up "Thinking of You" card and offers some words of encouragement that things will, and almost always, do get better.

So there is the front of the card with the image and word art.  I wasn't sure if you were able to see the embossed strip I matted in the center of the card, so I figured I would take a close up pic for you as well as a pic of how the sunflower pops out from behind the sentiment - something I think is lost no matter how many pictures I take.  I drew inspiration from Friday Sketcher's Sketch #144.  Even though I missed the deadline for the challenge, I thought that the sketch worked well with the image since the original image is only half the flower. 

Thanks for stopping by today and looking :)
