Get Whale Soon Card

by 10 Comments

 Have you noticed the nautical theme is starting to trend again or maybe it’s just the excitement of Summer?  Probably a lil’ of both.  The Nautical theme of Summer inspired me to use a whale cut file and my Silhouette to make a Get Whale Soon card.

To make this card, I chose to use only the whale from a Whale with Waves Silhouette cut file.  The waves did get my creative juices a rockin’ but I get terribly sea sick so I don’t actually encourage the rocking of anything.

I used Echo Park Dots & Stripes paper as the card mat and adhered it on to the card base by sewing a zig zag stitch.  Love red stitching and Kraft paper {love}!  I then incorporated some School Days and Icing Sugar CANDi’s to tie all my nautical themed colors together.

 

Get Whale Soon Card

To complete my Get Well card, I stamped a punny sentiment  ’cause Get Well cards are suppose to cheer someone up and wrapped Hemptique Americana twine around the tail and stuck a Gold  stick pin in for some shine.

I originally had the stick pin stuck behind the whale.  Looked like the poor thing was harpooned.  Axed that idea….don’t need them Whale Wars crazies after me!

Supplies Used:

School Days CANDi
Icing Sugar CANDi
