Have you ever had one of those 12" X 12" paper stacks that was really meant for scrapbooking? I've had several, and sometimes I struggle with how to use some of the pages that have a design that incorporates the entire page. Today's card was made from one of those pages.
I should have taken a picture of the page before I cut it, but you can probably imagine what it looked like. The top 2/3 of the page was the peachy color at the top of this card. The bottom 1/3 was the orange and teal stripe. Where these two sections met there was the design you see above (including the glittery elements), with the polka-dotted strip on the right running the entire width of the page.
Underneath the "feel better soon" banner there was an an orange stripe that had the word "smile" on it. I simply cut a banner from some of the leftover peach cardstock and heat-embossed the sentiment I wanted. Then I popped this up directly over the strip that said "smile."
The only other embellishment that I added was some Nuvo Drops. I think you can see them better in the first photo.
When I was done, I was pretty pleased with the results.
I stamped a sentiment on the inside and the card was done. Boy, talk about quick! Now I wish I had more pages in my paper stack just like this one.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

This is really pretty. You really wouldn't know this was one sheet of paper. You enhanced it very well. I've had some sheets like that too and struggle to know how to cut it so it just gets shoved to the bottom.
Love this - I'm going to go through my papers and see what I can find. You do such a great job with nuvo drops,
Super way to use that paper, Cheryl - nice card!
