I used the adorable Newton's Sick Day stamp set. all of the images were stamped and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once it was all dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out.

I used the Circle Frames Die Set and to create a stencil. then I did some ink blending with Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold Distress Inks. I used the Petite Paw Prints stencil on top of the stencil and the same colors, but with more pressure when ink blending, to add a subtle tone-on-tone look!

I die cut out two speech bubbles with the Speech Bubbles Die Set and ink blending with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio. then I heat embossed the sentiment in white and popped it up with some foam tape.
I also stamped some of the smaller get well images from the set with the same colors as the circle along the side of the card base.

be sure to check out the card on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!

I had so much fun thinking of where I would want to travel, and I finally settled on an old-fashioned road trip!! my (not so little anymore!) Menn have a goal to visit all 50 states before they graduate highschool - so we've been doing a lot of road trippin' lately!

so fun, right?
I stamped the images from Car Critters and Party Animal, and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once they were dry, I die cut them out with the coordinating dies and added some details with a white gel pen.

for the background, I die cut out muliple hills with the Stitched Hillside Borders. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron to add ink blending to the hills. then I die cut out the street with the On the Road die cuts!
I also used Distress Oxide Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers for the sky.
