Get Well Card for My BFF

One of my BFFs just came home from the hospital, and I wanted to send her a get well card.  Details below the photo.  Thanks for looking!

• The card base is a pre-made kraft card that I converted into a tent card.  
• The background is an embossed piece of cardstock that was left over from a gel plate texture print.  I had used the cardstock to pull paint for texture, and I just added a little Twisted Citron Distress Ink to the white parts.  (If I had been using a white card base, I would have left it white.)
• The stamp set is Sick Turtle, by Inky Antics.
• I stamped the turtle, bird, and sentiment using VersaFine Vintage Sepia.  (I don't know why mine is so green, but it worked for this card.)
• I colored the images using Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.
• The adhesive dots are very old.  They're made by Cloud 9 (told you they were old!), and I bought them on clearance at JoAnn's a few years ago.
• The cardstock for the greeting is a left-over piece from another card.  I trimmed it into a banner shape.
• I popped the images & sentiment up with foam tape.
• I lightly brushed Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink onto the background of the image. using a makeup brush.

ETA:  The back says, "Hope your recovery is speedy."  :)
