Better Quickly

 I seem to have a lot of people around me who are sick, not feeling well or have had surgery. I myself haven't been feeling well for about 10 days so I thought I would make myself a get well card.....just kidding! I decided one of my family and friends who aren't feeling well needed a card featuring Sick Bird from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

After stamping and colouring with Copic markers, I hand fussy cut the stamp leaving a thin white line. The patterned paper I used is from Elizabeth Craft Designs as I wanted a soft yellow - to me yellow is comforting when you aren't feeling well. I cut the paper to fit my 5" x 5" base and to fit the design I had in mind. The sentiment was stamped and glued down on some matching card stock and added to the card. I added some flowers from my stash, some ribbon and a bow and glitter dots to finish off my card.

Sick Bird

Howdy - MichelleO here today for High Hopes Stamps I colored an adorable little bird to create a pick me up grin for someone under the weather - This is "Sick Bird" and despite him being... well sick, he is still a cutie. 

 

Colored with my Copics (colors below) and then a little Nuvo glitter paint for some "rain" falling. I cut out with an oval stitched die cut, masking out the end of the branch and leaves to fall out of the oval. And added some Ranger Tea ink around the edges for a little aging. Digging through my stash of older papers I found some Crate Paper and Glitz pattern papers that I fell in love with together. They are stitched down with a zig zag stitch.  

The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps "Under the Weather" is perfect for our little bird friend.

I love the vintage feel with this one! Get Well cards are not something I make too often but really need to replenish the stash of needed cards and we all need those smiles to make someone feel better when they aren't 100%. 

High Hope Stamps has some fabulous images for those smiles!

Sick Bird

 Howdy - MichelleO here today - You we always need those Get Well Cards for loved ones... I like cards that make you smile a bit with that get well wish. High Hopes Stamps has some fabulous images and they have opened up the Get Well Retirement Vault of some of those favorites! Me, I chose to color up Sick Bird... poor little guy seems to have a cold. 

I colored Sick Bird with my copics (colors below) and then cut out with a circle die cut. Making sure to cut out the leaves to hang out of the circle. For my pattern paper I found an old piece of Heidi Swapp Paper... those pretty little clouds are felted! OH my I love them! I sewed the paper on to a white card stock mat with a zig zag stitch. Then placed it all on a pretty dusty blue card stock base. The sentiment is perfect for our little guy. High Hopes Stamps "Under the Weather" I love how sweet this one came out!
