Project by Teresa Welch
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Cut 6 1/4"x4 3/4" Color Me™ writing paper with the border on the left and place on the craft sheet. Squirt drops of salmon and sandal inks and pearl mixative onto the felt pad, overlapping the dots. Add drops of blending solution, then dab over the writing paper to completely cover it. When dry, wipe off the excess ink with a paper towel, then glue centered on the front.
Cut 4 1/2"x2 1/2" Color Me™ flourish paper and ink it using aqua, sandal, pearl, and blending solution. Mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders, then glue 1 1/8" from the top. Cut out the scalloped Color Me™ border and ink with sandal, pearl, and blending solution. Mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Wrap ribbon over the border 1 3/4" from the left end and glue the ends to the back. Make a ribbon bow and secure over the wrapped ribbon with a 5/8" brad. Glue to the front, 7/8" from the top.
Cut out a small Color Me™ tag and ink with aqua, sandal, pearl, and blending solution. Stamp “take care” on it, then glue to extend from under the brad. Ink the chipboard butterfly with pearl and blending solution, then place as shown. Thread a coral button and use tape to secure to the butterfly center.
For the inside: Cut 6 1/2"x1 1/2" Color Me™ flourish paper and ink with aqua, sandal, pearl, and blending solution. Cut a 6 1/2"x1 1/2" cardstock strip and punch a border along the bottom. Ink with sandal, pearl and blending solution, then glue to extend along the bottom of the aqua piece as a border. Cut out the Color Me™ swirl tag and ink with salmon, pearl, and blending solution. Stamp “get well soon” and two swirls on it. Glue to the strip, angled as shown, then insert a 1/2" green brad in the top. Glue the strip and tag to the inside, 3/4" from the fold.
