This was my first attempt at a ‘Get well soon’ and ‘We’re thinking of you’ card after a heart attack of a family member. However, after I showed it to my husband he gave it an uninterested look and said ‘That’s it?’
😆
As harsh as it sounded, he followed with ‘You have created such beautiful things before, this looks like you gave it 5 minutes in a hurry. Is that the message you want to send?’
Of course I told him he doesn’t understand art and this reflects the CAS taste of this person. But it made me think, so I created the card from one of my previous posts instead. That one did take quite a while but I was very pleased with it and it wouldn’t be created without this ‘kick in the butt’ encouragement.
And yes, I was flattered he has a high regard for my cards so I took it as a compliment. 🙂
For this card I used a simple white square card base, I added stacked die cuts of a heartbeat from Marianne Design (sorry Tim Holtz, your dies are just amazing and I was eyeing yours for a while, but my artsy heart couldn’t override my medical professional brain in this case to buy the technically incorrect ECG trait 😆).
The heart in the center is cut from a holographic cardstock to add some interest and shine.
