Healing Hugs, Get Well Card

Well, you should know me by now. If the set is still sitting out (which usually means I was too lazy to put it away!), I will make another fun card with it.  I found this card here. 

The base of this card is a folded half-sheet of Gorgeous Grape card stock.  On top of that I layered a 2-1/8" x 5" piece of Highland Heather and a 1-7/8" x 4-3/4" piece of Whisper White card stock.

Next I stamped the flower on some scrap Whisper White card stock.  I set it aside to dry a bit before I fussy cut it out.  While it was drying, I stamped the words from the "Healing Hugs" set using Granny Apple Green ink.  I used the Stamparatus to do the words and that is why they are darker than the leaves. I stamped the words several times to get them all nice and dark and evenly colored.

After I fussy cut the flower from the "Healing Hugs" set that I stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink, I fussy cut it out.  I set it on top of the word strip and then I stamped the leaves. I needed to see where the leaves needed to go.  There's lots of play with the leaves so I was good pretty much wherever I stamped them on that corner.  I taped the flower in place but only on the part that was touching the Whisper White word panel.  Then I taped the two layers together.  I added Dimensionals to the back of the word layers.  I didn't press them in place. I needed to cut a doily in half and tape it under the word panel in the area the flower is in. 

I added a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White to the inside of the card. I stamped the little flower image using Granny Apple Green ink and then I stamped the words using Gorgeous Grape ink.  And the card was done.

I thought it was a pretty quick card to make, even with the fussy cutting (which I HATE to do now that there are so many dies to go with cards - they have made me a lazy stamper!!! LOL).

Update on the health issue.  I think I am now back among the living.  Not 100% but at lease I have a voice now.  Though I can't yell or it cuts out.  So hubby is safe for one more day!!! LOL  The cough is hanging in there as well as the stuffy nose.  UGH!! But I can't complain, it's SO much better than it was before!

Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
