The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White. I cut my paper in half on the 8-1/2" side so it measured 4-1/4" x 11" before I folded it in half. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
I took a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and textured it using the "Ornate Floral" embossing folder. I glued that piece to the front of the card.
I took a piece of Basic White card stock and I stamped one flower using Balmy Blue ink. Then for the beard of the flower I stamped Night of Navy and the center was stamped using Mango Melody ink. I had watched a video (that I can't find now) and in it was how the demonstrator had taken her Balmy Blue watercolor pencil and colored in some highlighted areas on the flower. I didn't have that set of watercolor pencils but I did have a blue one, I think it was Pacific Point, not sure because it's not written on the pencil.
I had made a mat and covered the first flower so I could stamp the second one. I stamped it the same way as the first, including the watercolor pencil.
I made sure the mask was on the flowers before I stamped the leaves. The leaves were stamped using Granny Apple Green ink and the veins of the leaf were stamped using Old Olive ink.
The words are from the "Hand-Penned Petals" set and were stamped using Night of Navy ink. I did mask off the word friend. I just wanted it to say "feel better". The "Pansy Patch" set has some fun words with nice fonts but no get well, so that is why I went with "Hand-Penned Petals". Plus I like the font!
I die cut the image using the largest rectangle die in the "Stitched so Sweetly" die cut set. I cut a 3-1/8" x 4-1/4" piece of Balmy Blue card stock for the layer behind the flower piece. I added Dimensionals to the back of the layers and set it in place on the front of the card and the card was done.
This was a very quick and easy card to make, plus it's pretty too! I need to do a little research on the colors of pansies. I don't know my flowers well! I am excited to use this set again.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to see this sweet get well card,
Wanda
