'BEE Better Soon!' Easel Card

   Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, 

and good news gives health to the bones.

Proverbs 15:30

‘…I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord…

Jeremiah 30:17

Welcome to Digi Desserts Fridaze in connection with MyPaper Crafting !    We, on the Design Team, are to create a project using a Digital File from the vast selection at MyPaperCrafting.com every Friday, share them with You and encourage You to visit over there, get the FREE Digi File for today, make a project with it and link it for all to see.  It’s an easy and fun thing to do on the weekend!

      For this week’s project I decided to make a Get Well Card for a Dear Family              Member who has been having some severe health problems, lives far from me            and I needed to send a ‘snail mail hugggggg.’

I used the ‘Flowers n Bees DS’ file and the new ‘Elements Deco 13 set cf’ from My Paper Crafting.  Here are the original files –

*  I put the digi file into my great Free program – ‘Perfect Effects Free’ from www.onOnesoftware.com – and used the ‘Brandon with Frame’ effect which softened and lightened it a bit, colored the background and added a fine black frame to it.

*  I Saved the newly ‘colored’ file and then put it into my PSE10 program.  I added the words, ‘BEE better soon!’ to the flower heads.  (Whiteboard font)

*  I printed it on white cardstock and left a margin of white around the frame.  I’ve seen a little machine that roughs the edges of cardstock and I don’t have one, but I roughed up the edges with a scissors.  I then inked the edges lightly with charcoal ink.

*  I put Glossy accents on the wings of the bees.

*  I cut the frame for it from black cardstock - to fit the card.  I mounted the Digi on the frame.  I mounted the Frame on pale yellow, faintly patterned wallpaper with edges inked with black. 

*  I adhered pale yellow gems to the frame corners.

*  I printed two verses (Papyrus font) – see above – on white cardstock and matted it on black.  I mounted that on another piece of the wallpaper with inked edges.

*  I cut two of the ‘2-part border,’ I added a couple extra pieces of black cardstock to the ‘bottom edge’ of the borders to reinforce them, and adhered them to the bottom edge of the card.   I used tiny Pop-Dots on the upper one, to make a ‘prop’ for the Easel.  I added yellow gems to the borders.

*  I will write my personal message and sign it in the space above the Verses – which is the backside of the front of the card.
