Margie Saves the Day
This is the time of year so many of us are under the weather.It's good to have on hand just the right card.This card is always great if someone is sick or they are just down in the dumps. Margie is one of Under Constructions favorite ladies.In this case she is holding a box of kleenex and wearing her fluffy bunny slippers. How can you not smile? Cut an 8 1/2 x 11 card in half .Fold the card so the two ends meet in the middle,crease.Choose a complimentary colour of card stock to place on each of the folded panels.Before attaching card stock stamp Under Constructions little trio of dots as a back ground. Stamp Margie on white card stock and colour in with pencil crayons.This sample was done with a monochromatic colour scheme. Margie was given a little extra colour in her cheeks.It's either a fever or an "I'm all that and a bag of chips" attitude.The kleenex box was coloured in red,and then a little tuffed of kleenex was attached to the box to give it a soft 3D effect.. Attach finished Margie on to card stock just large enough to create a frame.Attach one half on to left side flap of card.. Inside card stamp words...Feel Better Soon add randomly trio dots . This will fill up your white space. TIP: To match your card to your envelope use a marker on Margie and colour only the fluffy slippers.Make a border across the bottom.You will have the reciever of your card smiling before they even open the card.
