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.
