Speedy Recovery Card

 

When I have a creative block or just need to take a break while my oil painting dries I like to make cards. They are so much fun to make. I usually start with a theme and then ad lib as I go along. 

This card started with a speedy recovery theme. Next I cut a car, bunny, trees, sign and clouds using Tim Holtz dies. I drew a horizon line with pencil on white card stock and applied blue distress ink to create the sky. The grass is cut from green patterned paper. For the road I cut a strip of black card stock and applied gold washi tape for the center line. The bunny, clouds and sign were cut from white card stock. The trees were cut from light and dark green card stock and the tree trunks and sign post were cut from scraps of brown card stock. Then I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to cut the heart shaped balloons from pieces of purple, pink and dark turquoise card stock. I used coordinating distress ink to shade the balloons.
