‘Tis starting to look a lot like cold and flu season!

The November release from Picket Fence Studios release has this lovely little sentiment set with several get well sentiments and today I’m sharing two cards I created using it, and some other Picket Fence products, to build up my get well card stash.

Happy Fern Get Well Card

I started off this first card by gradient stamping the Field of Mushrooms background stamp. To create the gradient, I used paper pouncers to pounce ink onto the stamp. I stamped each colour separately but made sure to overlap the colours to get a nice blend between the ink colours.

Then I die cut the Layering Flora: Happy Fern from white and gold cardstock. I ink blended two shades on green onto the white die cut and layered it on top of the gold one, off setting it slightly to let the gold peak out.

I heat embossed the big sentiment from the Get Well, Again set using gold glitter embossing powder and then fussy cut it out. I finished by gluing the fern onto the background. I had cut the background down to 3.75 x 5 inches and I let the fern and sentiment overhang the edges of the patterned background slightly.

Macrame Hanging Pot Get Well Card

For my second card, I created a simple background using the Simply Plaid stencil and Paper Glaze Luxe in the shade Olive You.

While the background was drying, I worked on die cutting and ink blending all the pieces I wanted to use from the Macrame’ Pot and Flora dies. When I was playing around with the dies, I noticed that the little ‘get well’ sentiment fits perfectly in the bottom area of the hanging pot so I decided to stamp my sentiment there. I really like how this turned out! Sometimes I struggle to find a nice place to put my sentiment so I’m always excited when I find the perfect spot for one!

It took me a little bit of fiddling with the die cut pieces to decide on an arrangement of the greenery I liked but once I found one that worked I glued everything together. Next I just adhered the hanging pot to the centre of my now dry stencilled background with some thin foam squares. For finishing touches I added some white gel pen highlights and that is it!

I hope you enjoyed reading about how I created these cards and found some inspiration! Make sure to leave any questions in the comments so I can answer them. As always, I so appreciate the time you take to read my blog and comment!
