A Get Well Card (Of Sorts)

Happy Saturday Evening everyone.  I'd like to share a card I made for a friend that fell and badly broke her leg and messed up her knee also.  She will be side lined for three months.  I thought this was the most appropriate image and sentiment by Deedee Anderson for her and after making sure my friend was in good enough spirits to accept this kind of humor I went to work making the card.
I used the pre-colored image and just stenciled some stars with a SU! mask because I'm sure she was seeing stars after her fall.  Then I decided to make a dotted background with Copics, and a Sharpie White pen.  The sentiment came with this cute set and the paper was from that old scrap book calendar I saved from 2007.  I put this in the mail this morning and I think she should receive it by Tuesday and I do hope she will still be in good spirits after her surgery which will be on Monday.  I plan on making her some serious cards also, but I was hoping to get a laugh out of her for the time being.  Thanks a bunch for stopping in and I wish you all a great Sunday.  If you will be watching the Super Bowl I hope the team you are in favor of wins and if you will not be watching the game, I wish you  a good crafting or relaxing day.  I will be eating Super Bowl foods all day and will watch the commercials if nothing else.   See you again soon.

  1. Hi, Donna.

    How nice of you to cheer your friend with this humorous card! I love how you embellished this pre-colored digi and then used a sentiment from a 2007 calendar! Now that's what I call shopping your stash. :)

    Thanks so much for playing along with our OWH sketch challenge!

  7. That is such a shame for your friend. Hope they mend quickly. As for the image, it is sure cute, but I was trying to decide what it was. Is it a Mallard duck? (lame duck) I can be a little slow. Well whatever it is, it is adorable! The background looks awesome. Stay warm and take it easy.

  11. OMGoodness, your poor friend! That sounds like a hard fall and I'm sure she saw stars! But this cute card should put a smile on her face, I know it would mine. I think this is adorable and I love how you did the background-that was clever! Watching the Super Bowl here with hubby. I found years ago being the only girl in the house that I lost when it came to football. lol So I watch and surf the internet! I love the commercials and I will watch the half time show. Not rooting for anyone in particular. lol Hugs, Brenda

  14. Donna, what a super card for your friend. I had a laugh over this one (though, she probably isn't laughing) but she will love the card, for sure. Your bg is great and you used the perfect sentiment.

    Hey, that snow arrived melted. You'll have to find a way for freezing it next time. HAHAHAHA We may have a few flakes this morning but probably not. The weather man says to not get excited...so I won't.
