Vintage Get Well

It was time for a smile for my Aunt and her husband.  They both have really been going through the thick of it lately - her husband being diagnosed with months to live caused by some rare auto-immune disease, my aunt -suffering an appendix that ruptured and survived; then just recently "wasn't feeling good" and was rushed in to have 2 stints surgically placed for the 95% blockage to her heart.  .

The word art I chose to base my card on is from a new set that TLC has in the store called Sell It.  You can find the set by clicking here.  Almost immediately, the wheels started turning when I read the sentiment. The sentiment reads:  "You take a licking, and keep on ticking"!  It can't get any more perfect than that !!!


I just got some new  DCWV paper for my birthday from my Mom, god love her. It's my favorite paper at the mo - so vintage in all different shades and textured!!  You may not be able to see it in the pic, but there are faint black drawn roses in the paper.  Divine!!  I scoured  the net and found this gorgeous vintage clock at Beyond the Fringe, which you can find here!  The clock is pop-dotted on the distressed doily for some added dimension and colored in Copics.  The heart chipboard piece is colored in the same Copics to match the clock, then crumpled and distressed in Making Memories distress ink.  My daughter said it looked like a piece of suede which made my day, and hopefully, this card makes theirs.

  8. Sara, I love this card! What a great sentiment with that old-fashioned watch. I really like the paper, too. I am sure your card made them smile during a really rough time. I'd tell you to give them a hug, but they'd probably think that was weird to get a hug from some chick they don't even know!!! LOL
