More Get Well Cards

DSCF0182

My goodness, I need more get well cards!  I searched a few challenges, and came up with yesterday’s SCS Color Challenge 369, which was Peach Parfait, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party, and the Mojo Monday Sketch 235:

Using a retired hostess set called Because I Care, this is what I made:

I inked the hydrangea in Pool Party, then used a market to color the leaves and stem.  The largest butterfly from Kindness Matters adds a nice little touch! 

The second card is a smaller note-card size, using Fabulous Florets:

This card uses the color challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments #112, which is Rich Razzleberry, Pretty in Pink, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla; the sketch is from Try Stampin’ on Tuesday #60:

Darn, I forgot those three little embellishments on the bottom!  Oh well!  The image was inked in Versmark, then Rich Razzleberry, stamped, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I colored it with Pretty in Pink ink and an aquapainter:

I made a little tab with my Word Window punch with Early Espresso cardstock and stamped a little flourish from Tiny Tags and fastened it with a Vintage Trinket brad.  The background was embossed with the Elegant Lines embossing folder.  Remember, if you have any questions, please shoot me an email!   Thanks so much for visiting today!  I appreciate all the comments about Cassidy’s rash, too!  I have a couple ideas to try!

Stampin’ Royalty Challenge 55

DSCF6256-2

Stampin’ Royalty’s challenge this week is to use anything with wings!  Since I already had my Nature Walk sitting on my desk, and I needed a thank you card, it was a no-brainer!  I LOVE bees---one of the main reasons I got this set---so I decided to highlight that little bee for my small 4x4 note card:

I guess I am stuck on vintage this week…..I used lots of vintage SU images, faux stitching this time instead of using my sewing machine, same seam binding technique, a couple of vellum butterflies and some pearls!  I added some Jelly Roll sparkle to the small butterfly and the bee’s wings  (which you can’t really see):
