Good morning friends
Inside I used the Pop-Up platform that comes with the new Explosion Card die set and turned the Octopus from the Ocean Animals into a nurse. :-) My Mom was a nurse, and wore these nurses hat - so I really wanted to make one. With a little trimming and folding and a red marker, the Kleenex box became a nurses cap.
Both the large crab on the card front, and the octopus have wiggly eyes. Since they didn't really stand out enough against the patterned paper I was determined to use, I cut the sea creatures again from black card stock and adhered those behind the pearlized purple ones with a bit of an offset.
The crab was sitting too low on the upper pop-up bump, so I glued a 1/2" x 1" strip of the patterned paper to the bump and then the crab to the top of the little strip. Gave me all the height I wanted!
The new Get Well Charms are SO fun - here I've used the thermometer and Kleenex Boxes. The smaller crab is holding a cup, which could be soup or hot tea depending on what you find the most soothing.
I didn't want to hide that pretty green & teal seaweed on the paper, so decided on a square signing block instead of my usual rectangle. The sweet scalloped square is from the Spinner Square Pop-Up.
Finally, here is a group shot for those that like to pin them.
I have a fun card to share today, using more of Karen Burniston's new release. On the front, I paired the new Get Well Soon with the large crab from the Ocean Animals Set. I loved this pretty patterned paper that was leftover from a different project, so used the rest of the sheet for this card.
