Speedy Recovery

I have a quick card to share with you today.  A friend asked me to make a 5.5" x 8.5"  get well card.  She's taking it to work to have co-workers sign for another co-worker who is recovering from surgery.  It is definitely larger than my normal and it needed to have plenty of room for signatures.  I also had to keep in mind that it's going to be handled a lot before it gets to the eventual recipient.  The recipient likes the outdoors and would rather be working in her yard than working indoors. For this reason, I chose a garden type theme.  I thought the flowers and lattice border die cut went well together.

After matting the computer generated sentiment, I added it to a die cut and popped it up over the background paper.  A few green pearls were added for a little embellishment.  I *really* wanted to add some pearls to the lattice but I didn't think they'd hold up well with all the handling and thought they might interfere with signing the inside front of the card.

While keeping the card somewhat flat (to make it easier for people to sign), I did get some dimension by popping up layers.  The vines on the bottom have some Wink of Stella glitter pen accenting them.  The flowers in the top have were accented with stickles.

Cardstock:  Recollections (cream), Bazzill (green)
Patterned Paper:  MME (Bloom & Grow - Vines), The Paper Studio
