Another Thinking of You for son-in-law

I scored bit at a yard sale last week end - got lots of fabulous papers, and a lovely Close to my Heart stamp set, including this Thinking of You stamp.  I could have purchased a lot more, but I am trying hard to be reasonable!!!  This is another card for our son-in-law who will be spending the next six weeks at a rehab facility, while he has therapy to recover from a stroke.- learning how to walk again.
This card is entered in the challenges below, but also in the Splitcoaststampers Falliday challenge - HBrown asked us to make examples using fall colors with no white or vanilla.  The leaves are die cuts.

Sparkly recycled Christmas card 2017

I am finally succeeding in recycling some old Christmas cards - though doing so is definitely not a time saver for me!  This image and sentiment are from two different cards.  There is glitter highlighting the image, and I added some shiny metallic stars.  The cream cs is Shimmery Champagne by Recollections; the green DP is from a DCWV pad.  I used Spellbinder ovals and Nestabilities Majestic Elements ovals. as well as a Cuttlebug border die and cream ribbon.
