Krafty Chicks challenge #725 - CAS

Hello again lovely friends.  I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week.  I'm a little late with my post again this week but it's Thursday so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge.  We are now on Week 3 which means Diane is our hostess and our theme as always is 'CAS (clean and simple)', so come and join in the fun with us. 

I wanted to make a cheerful get well soon card for a friend who is currently in hospital after surgery.  I only used SIP (stamps, ink & paper); no dies were used at all - shock horror!  

Here is my card:

A closer look at the stamping:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4".  I grabbed a striped background stamped and masked each stripe so that I could stamp them a different colour (I did have some slight bleed from my orange into the pink but I don't think it looks too bad).  I then stamped the flower in black ink and arranged the sentiment along 3 of the stripes, again stamping in black ink.  I was just about to add foam tape to the back when I noticed an ink smudge at the very bottom (luckily) so I trimmed my panel a tiny bit smaller.  I added foam tape to the back and added it to the card base.  For the inside I used the same background stamp and again masked each stripe but did it on an angle in the left corner.  I once again stamped the flower in black ink and added a sentiment in the centre, again stamped with black ink.  I added this panel to the card base with double sided tape.  The thing that took the longest in regards to this card was the masking of the stripes, apart from that it was really quick to make (for me anyway lol!).  I hope you like it.
