Get Well Soon

Good Morning to all my fab friends and  followers. I hope you have had a good weekend. the weather here wasn't so bad at least it didn't rain yesterday. We went to Durham on Saturday did a bit of shopping and I picked up some cute stamps in the craft shop in the indoor market. On the way back stopped at a pub/hotel my husband had been to before at Coxhoe called The Old Mill what a really nice place the food was great and they had a huge Gluten free menu I actually had a crumble for afters first one in more than 5years such a treat for me.
Anyway todays card is a man card its a get well card I've made for a friend of mine who has been a bit poorly recently. I used the same Michael Powell stamp I used for my husbands  birthday card in January but I've used  neutral colours this time and kept to a sepia theme. I really like the stamp as it is so versatile.
