Hi All,

Today I went to an all day crop. I assembled these Get Well cards for my stamp clubs' swap.

All of the individual pieces were cut with my Cricut. The iron gate and shadow were cut from the Ornamental Iron cartridge. The flower was from the Picturesque cart. The border with the Hurry and be well phrase was designed in Design Studio using a border from the Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cartridge. Basically, I used one border right side up and one upside down and merged them, then elongated them to fit the card front.


The shaded images were edged with Tim Holtz's Distress inks and applicator.

This was a fun card to make and I enjoyed all of the steps. I had spent time with a ball stylus "cupping" all of the flower petals but once put in an envelope they lose a lot of their dimension.
