Get Well Soon

I had great plans for this card but I am still disappointed. Mainly because I ran out of craft tape and had to use a glue stick.  It bubbled the paper and in order to get it to lay flat, I flattened out the embossing :(.  Also, for those of you with a Silhouette, I often color in my shapes so I can tell them apart.  Of course it doesn't matter when you're just cutting out, but it does when you print and cut.  The paper was a much sunnier, paler yellow than this but it printed the yellow color that i didn't really select with any care because I wasn't planning on it printing. I figured I need to show my failures as well as my successes...so here it goes.

Ice Cream time!

  

My friend just had a tonsillectomy and this was the Get Well card I chose to make.  I found a line drawing of an ice cream cone on google and used it for a pattern.  I am horrible at tracing/cutting, but I gave it a shot.  I really, really like how the sugar cone turned out.  I just used my score pad and scored lines every 1/8".  I embossed the ice cream with the D'Vine swirls folder.  The chevron paper was from Colorbok Hopscotch double-sided premium paper and I just cut out a square and scored a small frame.

I have mentioned (at least on my old blog ) that my handwriting is horrible and I don't have many sentiment stamps, so I used my Hallmark greeting card program to print the sentiments on plain paper.  I taped the front sentiment to a scrap pice of cardstock and ran it through the cuttlebug with a small circle nestabilities die.
