Card Details

Get Well Soon – Stenciling with Perfect Pearls again

Hi Artsy Friends,

This is my second try of Stenciling with Perfect Pearls. I tried to create an Ombre effect by applying four shades of Perfect Pearls: Forever Red, Rust, Plum and Blush. But, as you can see, the color looks the same!

Ha! I don’t mind, anyway! I enjoy playing with this almost-forgotten toy. I’ve been buried by my full-time job lately. So making CAS card is a treat for me. Hope this card is eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by.

Card Details
1. Stencil and text are by Hero Arts.
2. Wonky Frame die is by My Favorite Things.
3. Text is heat embossed in black.

2. One-Layer Simplicity Challenge, OLS 21 - Whatever the weather
3. AAA Cards Game #49: Word Play

Second Get Well Card in 2014

This is a card for a colleague who got a motorcycle accident a few days ago. This card is the sequel of the previous Get Well card. The first card used the positive part of the diecut text, while this card used the negative part.

I hope this colorful and cheerful card will help my colleague to recover very soon! I also hope I don’t need to make the third Get Well card in the near future!

2014年才過第二個星期結束，Helen就需要做出第二張慰問卡，這次是送給部門的一位出車禍的年輕同事！同事因為閃躲另一台摩托車， 卻不幸自己的摩托車車滑倒，因而摔傷。結果下巴縫了好幾針，左手骨裂，雙腳也有多處傷口，災情可謂慘重！由於「肇事」的摩托車並未真正與同事擦撞，且不知去向，交通警察裁定是「自摔」，同事只能自認倒楣！

唉！Helen真是替同事感到心疼與忿忿不平，不過這似乎就是人生。只能安慰同事，沒有腦震盪，且摔倒後沒有被後方來車再撞，真是夠幸運了…. ！祝福同事早日康復，也希望短期內不必再做慰問卡！

Get Well Card

This is a card for a senior relative of mine who got an operation lately.

2014年才剛開始，Helen就需要做一張慰問卡，因為一位長輩開刀了，是換髖關節！光是聽到手術過程的描述，Helen覺得自己的髖關節都痛起來了呢！手術非常順利，不過要恢復行動自如還要好幾個星期！僅以這張卡向長輩加油打氣，祝福早日康復！

年長者開刀換髖關節或膝蓋者時有所聞，不知這是年老的過程無可避免的宿命？還是有機會提早保養，避免問題的發生？
