This week we spied a get well card made by the Wizardessofcards on Instagram.
The doctor and nurse look great layered over the pattern created using the stamps from the Call the Doctor set. The touches of blue pull together this primarily black and white card. This card made us smile and will definitely bring a smile to the recipient’s face.
See more of the Wizardess of Cards work on Instagram @wizardessofcards.
We are always on the lookout for creations made with YNS products. Be sure to tag your photos with #yournextstamp.

This week we are taking a closer look at a stamp set that is full of flowers and sweet sentiments, Fairytale Homes. This set is great for sending thanks or just a note to say hello.
Tomorrow we will be back with more inspiration for challenge #87. Then on Sunday April 22nd, our monthly Feature Day post arrives with another chance to win a YNS prize.
The nested rectangles with subtle stamping on the base are what caught our attention. The grass is shaded beautifully and creates a wonderful scene for the deer from Oh Deer!.
Challenge #87 is going on right now with more chances to win!
