When I saw this card on Pinterest, I knew I just had to make it. I also had most of the "stuff" to make it too! I did make a few changes but it's basically the same card. The original, made by Laura-Lee, can be found here.
This was a fun and easy card to make. The original card used a lacy heart, I didn't have that die so I used the "Swirly Scribbles" die instead. I think it worked just fine.
I loved how she used the mummy from the "Cookie Cutter Halloween" set to make the injured person! I never would have thought of that. Hopefully the one who is getting this card (someday) will not be that wrapped up, the poor soul.
I used the "Pretty Paisleys" embossing folder for the oval textured center. I bought it and hand never used it all season. So glad I got to use it at least once!!!
The original card looked like there was a layer of gold metallic paper behind the focal piece. I did have the metallic papers but I didn't want to use them on the card, I didn't think it fit well with the look of the card. There was no other gold on the card to bring the layer in and have it blend. So, I used Pirouette Pink for the layer. I also used Pirouette pink on the "Swirly Scribbles" piece too.
I stamped and punched out the mummy. I colored in the face with a marker and I sponged the edges with black Memento ink. There's where the problem came in. I touched the edges of the mummy and got ink on my thumb. Then I picked up the white focal piece and got a dot of ink on it. This is where the pearls came in to play. I had to cover the ink with something because I REALLY didn't want to make another focal layer, especially when I actually got the words straight!!! (A rare thing lately). So I added a few more pearls around the card to make it look like it was meant to be! And it worked!!
I really like how the card turned out and I just LOVE how the mummy was used on a get well card.
