Hugs and Get Well




I really wanted to try Make it Monday #207  Double Partial Die Cutting.  I could not think of my own idea, so I just copied Laura's example card pretty closely.  I have been wanting to try pink and yellow blended together, so I used Distress Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade inks blended together in the opening created by Mat Stack 5. I am also entering this card at Virginia's View #11 Layers and Dimension and The Challenge #28 Anything Goes.









I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #117 and the colors from ColourQ #285 for my next card.  I decided to play along with WPlus9's Throwback Thursday #2, and pulled out an older WPlus9 set that has not seen ink in a long time--Paisley Patterns, and modeled my card after Michelle's inspiration card here.  I am also linking up at Simply Create Too #82, where the challenge is anything Goes.






Thanks for Visiting

    Well, I am a big fan of that pink and yellow being blended together!! Love the way this card looks - that cutout hugs word is awesome and I really think it is cool the way you put your words above and below it!! Really pretty!!! The bright, happy colors on your second card are so perfect for a get well card and for those paisleys!! Love the sentiment going on the side like that and I found the whole thing to be really delightful!! Hope you are having a wonderful, blessed Easter weekend!!

    Awesome job on the MIM challenge, Joyce! I love the pink & yellow and those little flower accents! Even though the challenge is over I hope to give it a try. I've seen so many great designs. And wonderful design with the paisleys and sentiment placement.

    Wow! That partial die cut aperture card is great. Those yellow and pink colors-so scrumptious! Great paisley card too. I chuckle every time I see paisleys now. Hubby always tells me that paisleys don't exist in nature. I tell him, "Neither do Twinkies."
