Cricut Get Well Soon

Good morning and welcome to the first Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge of 2021.  Our theme is Get Well Wishes and is open for the next two weeks.  I always try to begin with about 3 ideas for projects when creating for our themes.  Today I am showing you all three attempts.


My first card from Simple Cards turned out to do double time by using the negatives.  I used the same navy card stock behind the original cut as the card base for the negatives.


I used the original cut for a stencil prior to adhering the back layer.  I tape it to my desktop using blue painters tape.  The original was not exactly A2 size but I did cut my negative card that size, hence the navy blue lip sticking out.  I centered the stencil before gluing the pieces in place.


Here is the completed negative card.


I also made this whale card.  I used more Quick Quotes paper, however, this is from a nautical collection. I felt that was fitting for the whale card.


And finally, I would like to show how not all ideas come out the way I plan.  After much consideration about what printed papers to use, I thought this black and white would look great with a pop of red.  FAIL.  I almost didn't post it, but I decided you should see what cards I would typically not blog. While the first card turned out beautifully (the inside is a nice soft pattern) with the print working for the card...this print did NOT lend itself to the cut.

Ingredients:
Quick Quotes Harmony and Anchor's Away papers
Quick Quotes Deep Sea Powderpuff chalking ink
Basic Grey Spice Market paper (black and white)
misc card stock

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:





Thanks very much for stopping by and don't forget to play along with the Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge until January 18.
