Swallowtail Get Well and Paper Players #167

 

Today’s card is a quick and easy get well card for a friend who will be having surgery soon.  It’s also inspired by The Paper Players color challenge #167.  The colors are pool party, midnight muse and whisper white.  IMG_1231

 

About the card
1.  Offsetting the Swallowtail stamp.  This background stamp is quite large and while I wanted it featured on the front, I didn’t want it to be all centered and everything.  That’s the great thing about large stamps, you don’t have to use the whole.

2.  I used the This too shall pass sentiment from For You and cropped it with the Labels framelit.  I cropped a second one in the same size in the Midnight muse to place behind it by cutting it in half and moving it out.

3.  Final touches – pearls.  Larger ones on the butterfly and smaller ones on the sentiment.  This card came together really fast because it is a single layer.  Sometimes simple is best.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you enjoyed it.
