Today I was in need of a Get Well card. SO while surfing the net I ran across a fun "Flower Patch" card that I worked into a get well card. You can see the original card here. I liked the original card but I lacked all the supplies. So I ran with what I had and I do like how it turned out.
The base of my card is a folded half sheet of Crisp Cantaloupe. Then I added a layer of Whisper White and on top of that is a piece of decorative paper from the "All Abloom" paper pack. I LOVE those packs. You get quite a variety of papers for a great price!
Next I stamped my flowers using the "Flower Patch" set. Then I cut them out using the "Flower Fair" dies. I don't have the magnetic piece for my Big Shot so I just put a post it across the die and stamped image and it held it in place just fine, no shifting at all.
I cut a scrap piece of Whisper White for the word panel and I added a scrap piece of decorative paper from the same "All Abloom" pack. I assembled my card and then realized that I forgot to add the words. I couldn't add them now, my word panel is sitting on the card with Dimensionals under it! UGH! So I got out my trusty "Modern Label" punch and the "Word Window" punch along with the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set and I was able to fix my error. I really just wanted the words stamped on the word panel part but this is what I ended up with. I like it but it wasn't what I wanted.
It was a fun card to make and it went together rather quickly. I do like the dies but I'd much rather have a punch. It's less time using a punch than the dies.
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda
Love your card - very bright and colorful.
