THINKING of you today

Hi! It's not very often that I take the time to create cards anymore but I am in need of a variety this month. I need a birthday card for my dear friend and SIL, an anniversary card for my dear son and sweet DIL, a thinking of you card for my sweet sister who just had surgery and one for my other dear sister who took care of my dogs while I was out of town this past weekend. When it rains, it pours!
Rather than getting overwhelmed with the thought of making 5 unique cards, I made 5 rather clean and simple ones :)
I stamped and heat embossed a single blossom for the focal point using a fun multi colored embossing enamel. Do you see the gold mixed with black?
For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with Freshly Made Sketches:
For color and the music note background, I'm joining along with the card Concept 2nd Year Anniversary challenge in the clean and simple category:
Thanks so much for stopping by ~ hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)
