A Get Well Card

I still feel really bad but I wanted to do something besides lay on the sofa today. Yesterday I told you the only motivation that I had was maybe to make myself a get well card. Well, I didn't make it for myself but I did make one. The card was cut in Sure Cuts A Lot 2 but as usual I am not sure exactly where the cut file came from. I'm entering this card for a challenge over at Meridith Scraps http://www.meredithscraps.com/2011/01/card-challenge.html so wish me luck!


The card itself was cut out of a plain beige cardstock. The patterned paper behind all the butterflies is from K&Company. The little flower in the corner was cut out of the same paper by hand as was the big butterfly on the front.

The entire card was inked around the edges with Rubber Stampede Coffee Bean Ink pad. I love to ink, to me it just seems to bring everything together. Now, I just need some colors besides brown. I am also thinking I would like to try chalking some too.

Hope you all have a wonderfully, creative 2011!

An update to this post. My BF actually said it was cool, must mean it is really good. All I ever get out of him when I say "Honey, look at the card I made" is a "yea" or "uh huh". WooHoo, I am def pleased. :)

    Thank you. The funny thing is that when I got my Cricut I thought I would use it for scrapbooking because I used to love to scrapbook. I haven't done one page. Any recent pics are digital and I just haven't found the motivation. Maybe when I get a bunch of cards made up then I will start on some older pics. Have a wonderful day, and thanks for coming to see me.

    I love handcuting flowers too. And pretty ashamed to own up to having only 2 colours of ink.

    I have only one color of ink - brown. But I find that it is so versatile.

    @ Lilsweetpea - I have to go to another town to buy anything if I don't want to shop at Walmart but I went to Michaels a few weeks ago and got a huge K&Company Paper pack and used my 1/2 off coupons. I got 360 sheets of paper for 15 bucks. I was super happy. All of my patterned paper is years old and it is so ugly I haven't found a use for it so it was def time for some updated paper.

    Lovely card Rose, but not too sure if this is the Card for the Quirky Challenge as it was posted before the challenge started (which we don't mind one day) but there's no link letting us know. Love the K&Co papers, my very first buy was K&Co papers. Happy New Year!
