Keep Going... CoronaVirus Card



Outside of Card



Inside of Card


   
     I got great responses from sending out my previous CoronaVirus cards to family and friends.  Many wrote that they got a good chuckle out of them and made them feel better about having to social distance, so I made another batch with this design.  This card is made from the same stamp sets as my previous cards.  Here are some specs for this 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card:

Stamps:  Let's Stay Home CC3212,  Through Thick & Thin CC7211 (part of kit #CC7213)
Paper:  Celebrate Today, Bluebird, Mint, White Daisy
Ink:  Lagoon, Bluebird, Black, Blending Pen
Embellies:  Cats & Bats Dots,  White Satin Ribbon
