A Nurse Brings...

Happy Monday Everyone. Trust you had a great weekend. DRS Designs has some new images that will soon be available and today I get to share one of the new sentiments called A Nurse Brings...

Both of my cards today only use part of this new sentiment (1084H). With all that's going on with the Covid 19 Pandemic, it's nice to have a greeting especially geared towards nurses.

 I watched some videos on You Tube showing how to make paper masks for cards. I tweaked it a little to make it more to my liking. They are pretty easy to make. You need a piece of lighter weight CS cut to 2 3/4 by 2 1/8 inches, scored at 1/2, 5/8, 1, 1 1/8, 1 1/2, and 1 5/8 inches. You fold every other one mountain and the others valley to create the mask. I added some strong tape to the back to hold the folds in place and then added a piece of folded CS for the edges and baker's twine for the elastic. The background was created using the Woven Plaid background with a couple of DO inks that were also used stamp the splatter background onto the mask. The partial greeting was stamped with the same orange ink, die cut and layered onto orange CS to match the mat for the plaid piece. Some orange gem stones finish it off. I really had fun creating this and will definitely be making some more of this little masks. One video I watched stuffed the mask with cotton balls so it had some dimension, It actually looked like someone was wearing it. Not sure how you'd mail that, so I just left mine flat.

My next card using the same partial greeting, this time it's paired with the little boo boo bear who is covered in bandages. I stamped a piece of kraft CS with the bandage image using light brown ink, cut it into 1/2 inch strips and glued them at an angle onto the card base for my background. The little bear was stamped with Memento Black ink, colored with Copics, die cut and layered onto brown CS. I die cut a little heart, glued it onto the bear and added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze. The greeting was stamped with Versafine Black ink, die cut, and layered onto the same brown CS. I added some baker's twine before attaching it to the card base. This time I added some clear gem stones.

Be sure to check back all this week to see how other DT members use these images. 

Thanks for stopping by.
