STAMPIN' UP! HAND-PENNED GET WELL CARD IN HIGHLAND HEATHER

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Highland Heather.  Whilst I'm really not a lover of purple, I do like this soft, pretty, purple (and Stampin' Up!'s embellishments that are colour co-ordinated).

The only stamping on my card is the sentiment.  I've let the gorgeous Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper take centre stage.  Both the main floral panel, and the two vertical strips at the side of it, are from this paper pack.

The "reeds" at the left of the card were cut using Harvest Dies, and Highland Heather card.  I used a Blending Brush to add a little Highland Heather ink to the tops of the stems.

The sentiment, from Inspired Thoughts, was stamped in Highland Heather ink on Basic White card, and cropped with the Messages Die.  I used my Stamparatus, to repeat the stamping of the sentiment, so it was bolder than with just one impression.  The sentiment label is mounted on a slightly smaller piece of Highland Heather card.  I couldn't help but use some gorgeous Pastel Pearls on my card.

I adhered a scalloped border die-cut in Basic White card (cut using a Penned Flowers Die) to the bottom of my card front.  Once I had stuck down the border, and the die-cut stems, I wrapped a length of Highland Heather shimmery grosgrain ribbon around the panel.  I added a bow made from the same ribbon, to finish off my card.
