Girl in field watercolor card

I am continuing to try watercoloring. Since attending the expo I am hoping to get better and understand more of the techniques. This card I made for Kelsie who is in the hospital and wanted to make a non traditional Get Well Card.

I used this old Stampin' Up set (2004) that I just bought for $5.00! called: Summer by the Sea

Here is my new watercolor set I bought at Michaels. I really like how they work even though they are a beginners set. I just need to find my brush set... Any way the paper is a multi media Canson paper; 138 lb. Luckily on Saturday at Michaels this $9.99 pad was on sale (65% off) for under $4.00. perfect timing.

Get Well Wishes

Since I had cut a couple of these branch with leaves from the Sizzix die, I wanted to make a get well card for a friend.

I first stamped the sentiment from SU Teeny Tiny Wishes set, then embossed it with the lines SU embossing folder so it went horizontal to not disturb the sentiment.

Then I cut out the frame from Spellbinders wavy rectangles. (I got the set at JoAnn for 10.00 last fall!) and raised the frame on foam squares. (The pic was not taken at an angle to show the raised element). Then glued the branch for a simple elegant card.

Get Well Card

I learned at work on Thursday that a young woman was in a motorcycle accident over the Memorial Day weekend. Here is a card I made this morning to send off to her.

Base is a deep green ColorBok card stock layered by 5 1/4" x 4" red card stock.

I added the blue Tim Holtz Sizzix bird cage and followed by the SU bird and twig punch.
It is layered on a pale pink pattern paper at 4" x 2 1/4" and then a light brown pattern paper (I pulled the red from the pattern paper to match the base) cut at 4" x 1 3/4".

Hope she mends well.

Get Well Wishes

A couple of my friends have family members who have very ill. I created two of these cards last evening and truly hope for good results.

The embossing is a Tim Holtz embossing folder with a compass image; embossed on whisper white card stock.
The sprig of leaves is a Sizzix die I got from a yard sale a couple weeks ago for .25!!
The bird is from Stampin' Up (raised on foam squares) as well as the sentiment.
The border is a punch from Martha Stewart.

Get Whale Soon

Made this card for my crochet friend - she had some extensive dental work and hope all went well.
I used the whale and the water from My Scrap Chick. Google eye is from my stash and bck found paper from Sizzix paper pack.

Bug bug go away

My sister told me that her little boys is ill. So I immediately went to work to create this card for him. This is a little whimsy card for a little boy. So I tried to make it in that light.

I am entering this in a few challenges Cuttlebug Spot - Step Card, I haven't made one in awhile and was excited to make one again - this one is called a side stair step card! Prairie Fairy Friday wanted to see fine print somewhere on the card - which I printed on the computer "bug bug go away" in continuous print which worked out well for the idea of a bug at Paper Cutz Challenge. Color scheme of N for neutrals at The ABC Challenge blog.

Sentiment is a Cuttlebug embossing mini folder that I won last year. Embossing both Sizzix and Cuttlebug. The butterfly is from SU and the caterpillar is a Sizzilits

Mini Monsters Get Well Quick card

Made this yesterday for my daughter in hopes her tonsillectomy heals soon.
I won this cartridge from Elsa. Thanks!

I saw this image and just had to make him holding a banner.

A Peanut Hello

I made this shape card for my BIL. He hurt his ankle and multiple bones in his leg (hence the bandage on the elephants leg) and now has a plate in his leg.
Long read to recovery so I made him this card.
The hidden message "hello" is behind the peanut.

Get Well

Made this card for my daughter who has had a head cold for the past few days. Stinks with having a cold, away from home and trying to do well with school. I wish I could be there....
This goes with a few challenges:
SPS - Scrap Pile Saturday - for the layout
Recycle and item at The Sisterhood of Crafters blog - the funky half circle (cut of with my Coluzzle) is actually a card base instruction from something I got in the mail and could not toss the fab colors and pattern
At Scrappyfrogschallenge we had to pick three elements for our card - I chose: recycle an item, emboss and no coloring
The other repurpose item is the stems and leaves, are actually cardboard from a tissue box - I could not throw away the fab color pattern and made great leave material.
The back ground embossing is the ever famous Cuttlebug embossing Swiss Dot Folder.
At All Sorts challenge blog - we had to use petals and pearls - the petals (flowers and leaves) are a punch and the middle of the flowers are 1/2 glue on pearls
And at my new found following at PIO - Say it with Words

Thinking of you

Created this card for a few challenges in mind.
The mailbox is from Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge cut at 3"

The card follows these challenges:

Get Well Soon - card inspired by MBer

My dad is not feeling well, and he loves flowers and his garden. I admired a fellow MBer on the cricut web site (dj1952) and how she did her card.

So I set out this morning to cut and ink and piece together.
