In my quest for get well soon cards, I was inspired by this card from the gallery by Chillsgal. I made a few changes to it, like using my new Darice clouds embossing folder and adding a cloud from the Clouds2Cut set from The Stamps of Life. The only thing I'm really unhappy with is my ink. I've tried Stampin' Up ink and it doesn't work well with the clear stamps. I tried some Quick Quotes chalk ink and I'm not too happy with it either. I'm going to try another brand on my next card and see if I can't find one that I like. I guess it's all about trial and error.

Get Well Soon Card...
I've been sick since the middle of last week, so when I learned that a family member had gone into the hospital, I really didn't have the energy to make a card and used the one and only one from my stash. So then when I found out that two more relatives were under the weather, well, I had to make a few cards really fast. Fortunately I had just got a stamp set and matching die at the recent CKC convention that I really wanted to use and was perfect for the convention. I used the umbrella4you set from The Stamps of life and a card sample from the gallery to make this quick and easy card. I used a base from the DCWV Neutrals box of cards. The card came together quite quickly but was a reminder of why I don't use my old Stampin' Up ink with clear stamps: the images just don't stamp really well on clear stamps. I think I'll see how the Quick Quotes ink does next time.
