A friend asked me to make a thinking of you/good thoughts kind of card for a male colleague who is going through some treatment. I assumed that I’d have something suitable but, after looking through my ever growing box of cards, I could find nothing that works. Here, then, is what I produced.
Base: Very vanilla 8.5″ by 5.5″
Mat: Always artichoke 4″ by 5 1/4″
Top layer: Very vanilla 3 3/4″ by 5″
Stamp set: Lovely as a tree, Too kind
Ink: Always artichoke
This is a very simple and, I think, effective card. I merely took the tree image from the Lovely as a tree stamp set again and, using the stamp-a-ma-jig printed it in always artichoke ink. I added the sentiment from the Too kind stamp set – I used the stamp-a-ma-jig for that too although looking at the card now in the photo, I can see that I didn’t use it very effectively! All that was left was to glue the layers together (I’ve become addicted to the tombow liquid glue since there’s a little time to wiggle things before it sets) and line the envelope. The liner was cut out using the regals backgrounds DSP and the envelope liners framelits.
See you tomorrow,
Liz
This is a nice, simple design that gets the point across very effectively. Even though it’s the same stamp as the birthday card, it looks completely different. The sentiment is very appropriate too, it’s just what someone needs in this type of situation.
