Get Well Soon Shabby Card

Hello everyone,

I made a card that I am going to send to my coworker Carolyn who had a knee surgery and is recovering at home.


I used the sketch from Mojo Monday Challenge #362


Color palette and bird theme from The Shabby Tea Room Week #235 "Birds of a Feather Flock Together"


And Butterfly inspiration from City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #228 "Butterflies"



After I cut out the cage, I painted it with Tim Holtz Picket Fence Crackle Paint and Clear Crackle Paint to give it that rustic look. I used three different inks to color the bird to mimic the color of the little birdie from The Shabby Tea Room Challenge inspiration photo.


I also added this fancy bird as an embellishment to a shabby beige triple bow.


All the flowers on this card are handmade by me. I embellished some with pink crystals and some with variety of flower stamens.


I created this sentiment using alphabet stamp set. The 3 white butterflies on this card are embellished each with different color set of adhesive pearls.


One more look at the card...

I hope you enjoyed this post. I am pretty sure Carolyn will love her card...
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by...
Samra

      Awwwww Tracey, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving the comment! I truly appreciate you! I know Carolyn will love the card. She won't really know about it, until she gets it in the mail...it is kinda sad that none of my friends support me on my blog, they are not members nor do they read my blog. Oh well, that does not stop ME from having fun and making new crafty friends from all over the world in the process. :)

      Thank you so much Pamellia for all your compliments and I love to play at City Crafter Challenge Blog, it is fun and I found it thank to you! So one BIG thank you :)
      Wood texture is actually just paper from My Mind's Eye Bramble Rose stack. I found it in Hobby Lobby. I am not crafty enough to create beautiful backgrounds, but I am learning alot from your projects, just need to get supplies and courage to try :)Thank you my crafty friend! I saw your beautiful creation the other day on your blog, just did not have time to leave my comment, so let me do that now :)
