Warning... Don't EVER....

No Don't Ever... accidentally sew over a glue dot! Yep, really messes up not only the card you are working on, but the needle, the machine. And just really messes us your mood and happy crafting time. That was my evening last night, I "forgot" that I had used a glue dot when starting the thread thru the punches on the side of my card. When doing it I thought to myself, "now remember when you are sewing it to avoid this part" Well I didn't and almost 2 hours later I had things back and running. Man it did a number on my sewing machine! So don't ever sew over a glue dot... okay....

Ok, today's card is for my sister. I think I am safe in posting it now, cuz as I type she is getting ready to go into surgery to have her Gal bladder out. And probably won't be reading this for a day or two and by then I will have given it to her. I know this isn't a "surgery" type of get well card, but it is a new stamp I just got from Alota Rubber Stamps, and I really was wanting to ink it up, and she will get a kick out of it.

Isn't it just the cutest image for a get well card, I made sure to get the challenge of three embellishments in so it qualifies for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge this week. I stamped out the image and colored in with Copics, and white gel pen. And you can't see it in the photo but I used the clear Sakura Glaze Pen to do the thermometer, and it really shines in real life.

The floral patten paper is from Cosmo Cricket, I punched the edge with my new Fiskars Leave it to Weaver border punch and ran a scrap piece of red ribbon thru it, 1st embellishment. (yep that is where that darn glue dot is underneath). I sewed the edges... lots of time and screaming later. I attached it to the yellow base. Now the corner was pretty messed up from the sewing machine, but I was determined to save this card. So 2nd embellishment I colored in two chipboard corners from my stash with the same green as the chair and hid the big boo boo.

I then stamped the sentiment, also by Alota Rubber Stamps, and then matted with a brown piece of card stock that I stamped with my wood background stamp. It has the look of a frame, so I hung it! I glued down a red cord and then used a Colorbox Metal Adhesive dot for the "nail", the 3rd embellishment. I love this image, I got a few other with my order but do think I will need more as they are just too much fun to color in and give details to.

Well I had better run... want to check on my sister and get a couple of errands done!

Have a Great Friday!

Hugs and-
