I made a masculine card this week for a friend who is having a knee operation tomorrow. Rather than make a 'Get Well Soon' card to send after the op, I decided to make a 'Good Luck' card and wish him a speedy recovery when I write my message inside.
I made a Joy Fold card, keeping the design fairly CAS. The image is Dr Digi's 'Night Nurse Nina' digi stamp. I coloured the image with Promarkers and used Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangles' to die cut the image and navy blue mat. The patterned card is from Limetree Craft. A white brad keeps the card closed.... so that's one less brad in my 'brad mountain'! 😉
This photos shows the card open and I added a plaster inside, using a die from the Sue Wilson 'Feel Better Soon' set of dies, for added interest.
