I wanted to create some Thank You cards for the staff working in the nursing home that take care of my mother and also cared for my grandmother who recently passed. Now is the perfect time to say thanks to all the medical staff who are helping take care of us during this difficult time fighting the Covid-19 virus. My Favorite Things is generously offering several of their nurse and Dr. stamps as FREE digital downloads through 4/30/20, so I used them to make my cards. I’ll show you how to resize PDF images and how to color them with Prismacolor Pencils using a blending solution in my latest video.
