Last week, I needed a couple of 'get well' cards. A good friend of mine put out a plea for people to send cards to her great niece who was badly burned in a house fire, so I needed a card to send to her. The other was for a co-worker who had a knee replaced. I wanted both cards to be elegant and beautiful, so they would look at them and instantly feel better (can a card do that? I hope so).
Those of you who follow my blog know I often make my cards 2 at a time, with only slight variations. That's what I did here. I love to use Echo Park cardstock for my card bases as each side is a different color. These cards are both made by the same piece of EP cardstock (Little Boy). I used a Silhouette card file to get me started on the "elegant" look I was trying to achieve.
That's it for today! Please come back tomorrow. I have a layout to share with you tomorrow. An icy one. After all, it's winter in Wisconsin!
Very nice 'Get Well' cards. Great idea to make two with a little variation. The ribbons are so crinkly and soft looking.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful get well cards and know the recipients will feel better because of them! Heard its cold at home, nice and warm in AZ and CA!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! Great idea to make multiple cards at the same time - I should do that! Stay warm, my friend! :)
ReplyDeletejulie, nice card as always. Love the coloring of the flowers!

ReplyDeleteI like your color choices. The red really stands out. Nice.
ReplyDeletetwo beautiful cards Julie! I'm sure the recipients really enjoyed receiving them and were instantly cheered up (as I know I would be :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, the flowers are lovely!
ReplyDeleteoooo, I think I like the RED card base the better of the two... it really makes your coloring POP off the page!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card. I like the red that jumps out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Julie!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Julie! They are elegant. I need to follow your 2 card habit more often, since it's not that much more time consuming to cut the pieces for the second card, once you have the idea & measurements figured. Design, paper choices and measurements are 75% of the process. Your practical idea of making 2 is great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. It is great to make more then one at a time.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Julie! Great job on the copic coloring, too! The flowers are just fab! Love how you support so many with your craft! :)
ReplyDeleteI like both cards very much. The coloring of the flowers are just awesome! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Julie! I think you more than accomplished your goal! Great job! :0)
ReplyDeletePretty cards Julie! I love the coloring on that lovely image!

So pretty.....love those flowers....makes me think of spring!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are oh so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I like how you make your cards two at a time, but mix it up a little bit between the two. And yes, being forced to use your Unity stash is the best, isn't it? :D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous projects!

ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful set of cards you have there! AND such a nice reason to create both of them too. I DO believe that a card makes anyone feel instantly better, cared about, connected!
ReplyDeleteHope you're keeping yourself a little warmer today! It was a tad warmer here.
Great stamp and papers! The butterfly and button with ribbon trim are beautiful accents.
