WSC50: Get Well

Another weekend means it's time for another of Beate's Weekend Sketches and here's this week's!

Here's my interpretation of it . . . I wanted to try and use this Spellbinders die, Antique Bookplate 1, as my horizontal strip and just added the wide aqua grosgrain (Michael's) ribbon to match the aqua in the BasicGrey Boxer paper.

Stampin' Up's soft sky cardstock is the card base:

Copic Spica Glitter Pen in Olive was used to highlight the embossed areas of the bookplate die cut; it is popped up on dimensional foam tape. Karen Lockhart's Tissue Box image is a great one to have on hand for any "Get Well" occasion you might need. I never seem to have those kind of cards on hand when I need them and the person is usually well or out of the hospital by the time I get around to making a card for them -- how about you?!! The image was cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Rectangle and colored with these Copic markers:

You've probably seen this done a few times by my buddies Ellen, Trudee, and Debbie, but it's also the first thing I thought of when I saw this image -- it would be great to cut a slit in the top of the tissue box and tuck a piece of real tissue in it, so that's what I did, too!

A little bit of paper piercings at the corners of the card finish it off. Be sure to check out the blogs of these wonderful ladies, to see their interpretation of this sketch and I hope you get to try it out this weekend!

Okay, I'm off for a little bit of "Mom" fun today with a friend . . . we're taking advantage of the last few days of our kids being in school and going to catch the Sex and the City movie -- woo hoo! Our local movie critic (a man) rated it "The best chick flick ever!" . . . that says a lot coming from a guy -- I can't wait!
