Deep Sympathy

Hi Everyone!!
I'm doing much better this week with my hurt shoulder, it's still not working quit right but MUCH better!!  Thanks to all you girls that sent me Get Well wishes!!
Today I'm show a Sympathy card I did to look a little shabby... Hope I didn't overdo things with it since it is a Sympathy card.  I'll let you be the judge of that?
Here's the front, I used my :Hug Snug" Seam Binding for the first time and put some Glimmer Mist-Wheatfields on it and the card too.  I always liked the seam binding all the girls used on there sites and I finally made the plung when on of the gals I follow sent me the link, Thanks Glenda!
The Dragon Fly is from the Indadinkado stamp set Mindscapes-99121, I just colored it in using my CTMH markers. The border is a Martha Stewart called Raindrop. 
Here's a close up of my bow and border.....

and here's the inside, the saying is from the CTMH set called Best Wishes (C1318), then i used the Raindrop border punch again with a little scrap paper I had left over from the front.
I forget to mention I spunged all the edges of everything with Desart Sand too.
Will that's it for this one... I'll be posting another card I'm working on using the same Dragon Fly stamp.... maybe later today.
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!

Your card is beautiful! The image is so pretty and I love the seam binding. A little tip on the binding....if you want a little color you can take an ink pad with water based ink and dab it on the binding while it is bunched up and still wet. Then spray with more mist or water. I use Iridescent gold and Ranger Distress Ink pads a lot together. Experiment, see what feels good to you!
