CAS on Friday #340 - Get Well

I cannot believe it's already time for another CAS on Friday challenge. The summer is flying by way too quickly!

Argh--the pic on this one doesn't do it justice at all. I hot-foiled the image in black, colored it with alcohol inks, and then embossed the card front. The combo is stunning.
