Best Remedy For Me

October 8, 2022 Leave a Comment

I’ve been looking forward to this Thanksgiving weekend for a while. Lots of things to do and three whole days to get them done. However I didn’t factor in how this lingering cold would affect my energy levels. So for today at least it will be a case of just doing what I can, eating soup and resting when I need to. Even my cardmaking needed a shortcut and thankfully I had the Best Remedy Card Kit on hand. Of course I did put my own spin on it though.

BEST REMEDY PIECES

This project mainly uses pieces from the Best Remedy Card Kit. From the box I pulled out a pale blue heart and the printed bird. These would form the focal point of the design.

From there I decided to create my own card base from a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Starry Sky Card. After scoring the card at 4-1/4″ I folded it in half and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder. Then I used a Blending Brush and Whisper White ink to lighten the edges on the front of the card base. It was only afterwards I realised this mimicked the colours on the bird’s jacket.

To add a little more interest I embossed the heart using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Then I fixed that to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow). After that I added the bird with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From the stamp set included in the Best Remedy Card Kit I chose the “Feel better soon” sentiment. I stamped this onto one of the small white label pieces using the Starry Sky ink spot which was also included. Using more Stampin’ Dimensionals I attached the sentiment to the card then added a few of the self-adhesive iridescent sequins.

Going back to the kit I cut one of the pale blue card bases to 4″ x 5-1/4″. Then with a Blending Brush I added a light layer of Starry Sky ink around the edge. Once that was done I glued the piece inside the card base.

Finally from the kit I found a white envelope with a blue striped flap that coordinated perfectly with my card. But as the ink pad and brush was right there I added some ink around the edges on the front of the envelope too. And just like that today’s project was complete.
