Elegant 'N Easy Get Well Card-- "A Blog Named Hero" Challenge Inspiration!

Hello!  

Spring is here if only in my dreams!  It will be here soon--turning back our clocks this Sunday...

Here is some floral inspiration for the current "A Blog Named Hero Challenge."  Hurry and enter for a chance to win a $50 gift card!

So shiny:)


This card is pretty simple and quick (my favorite kind!)  The supplies are linked below (AFIL-Thank you!)

I chose several shades of pink/coral Distress inks and smooshed them, drying between layers.  I stamped the bold script background in white pigment ink.  I used the second largest rounded rectangle die to trim panel.  

I added it to an A2 top folding base, then carefully glued on my vellum envelope and flowers from a My Monthly Hero kit so popular, they now sell the dies!  I added a little ink and glitter pen to the flowers to add some interest. 

I stamped the sentiment strip and laid it over the foliage to hide glue I used to apply them.  Then added a few sequins for some additional shine.

Here are the supplies I used:

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I'll see you again soon!

Fun Distress Ink Smooshing & Die-Cutting Techniques!

 Hello crafty friends!

I had so much fun making this project!  I hope you will check out the youtube tutorial for the tips and tricks! 


I was inspired by Tim Holtz's December Facebook lives where he demo'ed all kinds of cool techniques!  All the instructions for this project are in the tutorial link below.  


Btw, I purchase my supplies and my opinions are my own.  They are linked below (AFIL-thank you so much for supporting my channel/blog!)  Hope you will check them out!

Note:  I couldn't find a cardinal:(  Also, I didn't mention in video that I used Ebony Nuvo drops for the bird's eye.

I will see you again soon!  Take care!
