Good evening all! I created this "Get Well Soon" Card yesterday and had great fun doing so! The image is from Dustin Pike that I've been hanging on to for quite some time. I absolutely loved it the moment I saw it but didn't have a chance to use it...until now!! I colored two copies of the image with pencils. The cloud is doodled in by me...I think I have a new job waiting for me...LOL! Anyway, after I colored the images I paper pieced them together so that the bear's head and feet are popped up and so is the dog's head. I added Glossy Accents to the grass, "drool" (lol), dog's spots, cloud, bear's tongue and nose. I LOVE Glossy Accents!! The brown paper is from Bazzill, the "Rose Stripe" paper is from Colorbok and the "Chocolate Mousse" paper (background for the image) is Studio 8.I used Martha's Scalloped edge punch on the top of the brown paper and bottom of the Rose Stripe paper.
I added bright silver brads to the corners of the image and then topped them of with crystals! I also added a single pink flower to the top left corner using the brad to secure it. I stickled the edges for more bling! The pink w/brown flower ribbon behind the image is from the $ bin at Target (smile) and I added a couple crystals to the middle of two of the flowers on one side and one flower on the left side. The satin pink ribbon is from my stash and is tied with a purple button, gold flower charm (w/ a crystal in the middle!) and thin white twine. I added diamond crystals to the top scallop and copper metallic pearls to the bottom scallop. Three Luster Baubles in "Ice" were the finishing touch and VIOLA! OH!! I forgot my favorite part!! So see where the doggy ripped the bear's arm??!! Well, since the bear is supposed to be stuffed...I ripped up a cotton ball and adhered the "stuffing" to both the bear's arm socket (in the dog's mouth!) and to the bear's body (where the arm was ripped from!). Just thought it added a fun effect, rather than leaving it as a plain white space. :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful craftsmanship in all of your cards Jen! I got this link from Lisa Sweeting. Question, do you do the illustration work yourself or get kits from somewhere. I am an illustrator, (akmdesignstudio.com, ebabylife.com) let me know if you would like to team up to do some projects in the future. Have a great week and once again, beautiful work!
