Peruvian Lily Feel Better Soon Card

My husband's aunt just finished several months of chemotherapy for her lymphoma, and I have been sending "praying for you" and "get well soon" themed cards to encourage her along the way. It looks like the lymphoma is in remission now (praise God!). I wanted to make another "feel better soon" card for her as she recovers from this final round of chemo that takes so much out of her each time.

To create the card, I made a fun fold base by die cutting a scalloped rectangle out of an A2 card front as well as out of some teal cardstock of the same size. I scored the white card base to bend in half and adhered the teal frame to the left side of the score line. 

For the front of the card, I wanted to use Altenew's new Build-A-Garden: Peruvian Lily stamp, so I stamped and die cut the image and then used the coordinating stencils to color the image. I used the new Bubblegum Dreams Fresh Dye Inks as well as the new Whispering Woodlands Fresh Dye Inks. The yellow is an older ink: Fresh Lemon Crisp Dye Ink. Once I finished ink blending the image, I adhered it to the teal frame and then added a few Bubblegum Dreams enamel dots to the frame and the inside of the card where they show through the opening. 

For the sentiment, I stamped "Feel better soon" from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations and die cut the sentiment before ink blending an ombré look to it. I adhered it behind the lilies where it doesn't show until the card is opened.
