Ever since I got a preview of the Holiday Stampin’ Up! catalog a few months ago, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and coordinating framelits. I wanted to create a get well soon card! The mason jar is a perfect backdrop for this ‘Caught a Bug?’ card! I entered this card into the Hand Stamp Sentiments blog challenge this week. We were asked to use the following colors:
Now shades of orange and blue remind me of the Florida Gators and while I am a Florida State fan (of course after my number 1 team and alma mater Iowa State Cyclones!), so this challenge was a little hard for me to stomach using these two colors together. But I sucked it up for the greater good and created this lovely piece:
I wanted to use some letter stamps that I haven’t used in a while and they are actually letter stamps from a Disney Princess letter set I have. I colored the bakers twine using a Tangerine Tango Stampin’ Write marker and the two bugs and staying are stamped in Early Espresso (although hard to tell from the picture). I love the way it turned out and a great card for anyone feeling under the weather!
