 for my card I used Stamp Simply tulip stamp. (I won two stamp sets of my choice at the beginning of the year. This is one of my choices)

I stamped the flower two times. I colored the image with copics and went over the flower with Wink of Stella.. I used My favorite things stitch die. I ran the blue card stock through an embossing folder. I then used MFT get well die and cut it 4 times and used a scrap from Quick quote and layered them.

Welcome to my blog.. Today is the perfect day to get a get well image over at Bugaboo.. Check out the design teams creations using this fun image over at Catch the bug.

 

 

This image is called "KC soup".. I automatically thought of doing a get well card because that is what I think of when I see chicken soup.. the chicken soup part comes with the image.  I added the get well soon which is by Stamp Simply. I colored the image with copics and used Lil inker stitch die.  I added this image to a Quick quote scrap. I added some silver sequins. I added some Nuvo glitter pen to the soup and spoon. this image would be simple to fussy cut out so you wouldn't have the chicken soup part.. or if your computer smart you can delete the words. I wouldn't know where to start or do it.. This could be a nice thank you for lunch card, in hot water - trouble card.. lets do lunch card..

On the bright side - Always Fun Challenge #75

Monday September 10, 2018

 

Welcome back to another fun challenge at

 Always Fun Challenges #75

Our challenge this week is to CREATE A SCENE

 

 

So I am back with a fun get well card.. I thought I would make a fun scene that would make someone laugh and feel better, after all laughter is the best medicine. I used water color paper and stamped the dog and sentiment from Art Impressions and the "get well soon" is from Lawn Fawn.. I then broke out my Mission water color paints and painted the dog.. I then created the outdoor scene.  I  painted the dog house / yard and fence. oh and the sky.. I really like how it came out.. I think the dog is in the wrong placement but I didn't know at the time when I stamped him what I planned to do. But considering it's the first I think it came out good. I used a real small brush to make the wood planks on the dog house and the roof and to make the fence.  I just dabbed some greens to make the bushed and thicker greenery. Cant wait to see the scene you create. Will it be with dies, with paints/markers.. or something else?

Hello.. Today I am back with the second get well card  that I had a request for. I started by stamping the Stampin up flowers and distress strip below. I used SU ink for that strip and the sentiment.  I added some copics to the flowers giving a light touch of color.  I cut the piece down and added a My favorite things designer paper to the left side. I used foam behind the flower section so it's raised. I stamped the Paper Pretties sentiment and went around the edge with Quick quote chalk in. I added this to the card and finished with some sequins.

Hello.. I have a request for a couple get well cards so I am posting one today and one tomorrow.

I am never sure what to do when I get a request because I want to make sure it's something she wants.

I know this person likes flowers so I played it safe and did flowers.

I stamped the Simon Says flowers and leaves with Stampin up ink doing the rock and roll method. I added some dots that came in the set also with the ink. I added a Paper Pretties sentiment and used My favorite things banner die. I went around the edge with Quick quote chalk ink. I then added some sequins and added this to a piece of SU card stock.  I like it so I am sure she will too.

I decided to make a get well card. I can always use them so now I am making one. I started with Stampin up gray card stock and embossing folder.

This is card #1..  So I stamped the two dogs, bones and food dish from Sugar pea designs.. I then took out my re-inkers from Stampin up and Ranger and painted the scene. I added a tree to the left side and a bush to the right side. I added hills and then painted the dogs and sky. I used a Prisma color pencil for the flicks of grass. I used a Simon says bubble die and scrap from Quick Quote and stamped the Art Impressions sentiment. (when I did the tree I added green leaves to the front side but the bark is so dark that they didn't show).
