Get Well

Hi all, I'm here today to share a card I made for the That's Crafty Challenge, and this week the theme is Leaves. I recently made a Get Well card for my Grandmother-in-law, who unfortunately broke her hip 4 weeks ago, and is still recovering in hospital. She is 93, so we are lucky she is still with us.


I used two lovely stamps from Serendipity Stamps, First, I gold embossed the large Fern image, and stamped another one on scratch paper to cut out for a mask. I then used the mask to stamp the smaller Fern image around the gold embossed fern, in Pine Needle and Evergreen Bough Distress inks.


I gold embossed the Get Well sentiment, also from S.S, and added some dark green gems.


Finally I mounted onto some dark green card, and added to a natural card base.

I would also like toi enter this into the following challenges:

Our Creative Corner - Shades of Autumn

Crafty Catz - Autumn Colours

Everybody Art Challenge - Earth Tones

Addicted to CAS - Leaves

Fantasy Stampers - Autumn Leaves

Thanks for stopping by today,

Pauline
