Hello friends! I am participating in this week's Make It Monday challenge on the Papertrey Ink blog, albeit a few days late. :) This week's challenge is to create a card using a banner like Nichole did on her tutorial video.
Here's my take on it:
I decided to go with an umbrella/rain/feel better theme. It's kind of funny that I picked this because as I finished the card and was going to find the camera, my 2 year-old decided he wanted a closer look.
Well, he squeezed and crushed the banner, causing it to crease horribly. Ah, well. Life with a 2 year-old. Whatch gonna do? :) You can see my poor banner better here. I heat embossed the rain drops and rain clouds with Versamark and clear embossing powder. I also used both sizes of banners from the Double-Ended banner die for the bottom sentiment. Then accented with a couple of threaded buttons.
So, I guess my card can understand the sentiment pretty well....sometimes life is tough and a little rain must fall. ;)
All stamps are from Scattered Showers and Scattered Showers Additions. Paper by Papertrey Ink: Spring Rain, Spring Moss, Soft Stone, and white. Ink: Autumn Rose and Versamark.
Thanks for stopping by!!

I love this card. And I completly understand my almost 3 year old is constantly tounch my crafty stuff!!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the MIM this week! Love how you have the banner wrapped around the umbrella. It has an extra special touch now that your 2-yr old got a hold of it!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I love how you have some additional 3D elements on this card besides the banner. I was wondering how this would look; I think it turned out great. I would have never known about the banner if you hadn't said anything.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card. I never thought to use this set for get well, but it is perfect. How nice that your 3 year old is already showing an interest in card making.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this card! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Lauren! The banner on my card looks squeezed, crushed and creased but I don't have a two year old -- I just thought you had the same difficulty folding yours :o)
ReplyDeleteLauren, congrats on your shout out! Woot! It is well deserved as this card is really something special... so perfectly clever. HUGS.
ReplyDeleteFantastic take on the challenge! Love the Scattered Showers with all of the wonderful details-raindrops, on the back of the banner, oh wow!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your shout out from Nichole!
Great use of Scattered Showers, I think it is finally time I got that set. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Great Idea with cute umbrela and the clouds. Very meaningful.
