Get well floral...

I recently made two get well cards, but they both look just like this one, so I'm only sharing one of them. 

I started by cutting two 4" X 5 1/4" panels--one from the floral paper (from an online file) and one from the subtle pink design. I stacked them and then cut them at an angle. Because neither design was directional, I could make both cards the same by flipping the panels around for the second one. 

As a finishing touch, I added a die-cut, stitched strip of cardstock to cover the seam. It was cut from the same cardstock as the card base.

I have a set of small dies that cut the little flowers you see in the bouquet on the circle. I cut them out of white cardstock and then inked them in the various colors that were in the floral paper. After gathering them all into a bouquet, I topped with with a tiny punched bow.

Quite a long time ago, my sister had sent me a slew of these little bows in different colors of cardstock. I have used them from time to time, but now that I see how perfect they are for finishing off this little bouquet, I think I'll be using a lot more of them.

My circle was popped up on foam tape.

Almost as an afterthought, I added the butterfly. It had been in my butterfly box, begging to be used!

I stamped a couple of sentiments on the inside and added the last few flower sprigs that I had not used on the front.

I really love making at least two cards at the same time and this layout is perfect for doing just that. If you haven't tried it yet, I can definitely recommend it.

It has been a stormy week here in Minneapolis. It has been cool and rainy, hot, humid and rainy and constantly windy. I hope Mother Nature gets it out of her system and settles down soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
