Get Well Friday

To me, making get well cards ranks right up there with making sympathy cards. I own nothing remotely "get well" specific. Fortunately, for me -- and the people I know, come to think of it -- I rarely need them. Today, I needed one, however, so mixed a couple of stamps, a computer generated sentiment, and my favourite copied-from-Heather style.  

I may or may not have decided to sponge in green because Heather recently did, and I happened to have the same inks. ;)  Before I sponged in the colours, I stamped and embossed the text background. Taking the post-it masks off, I stamped the butterfly and embossed with holographic embossing powder. I tried to catch a little bit of the iridescence  here:

While the holographic embossing works better (I think) on coloured ink, I liked that it kept the butterfly from being just, well, black. (I had originally planned to do flower silhouettes over the masked panel, but at the last minute thought they might seem a little gloomy for a get well card. Whereas a butterfly is never gloomy!) I could have done all this right on the card base, but I knew I wanted the sentiment banner folded over the edge on the one side. Both the main panel and the banner are popped up. A few half-pearls finished everything off.
