Get Well Soon, Paulette!

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you've had a great weekend so far!  I am here this morning with something very special.  If you follow the Create With TLC blog, you will know that the poor Paulette had a bad fall last week and dislocated and broke her ankle in three places! She has since had surgery and has to be in a big heavy cast for many weeks, followed by a long recovery period.  You can read all the updates on Paulette on the Create With TLC blog.  Paulette's wonderful daughter, Bri is keeping the show going on the blog and keeping us all updated and for that we are enormously grateful. 

Some of Paulette's current and former DT members are getting together today with a blog hop to send Paulette lots of encouragement and to let her know we are thinking about her and wishing her a speedy and complete recovery.  We have all created projects for her using some of the many freebies she so generously shares with her followers each and every day.  There will also be a Linky set up on the blog, so if you would like to create an encouragement or get well project for Paulette, you will also be able to add it there. 

If you arrived at my blog from Karen's blog, you are right on track.  If not, you may want to start at the beginning with Candy's blog, so you don't miss anything.

With that introduction, I will get onto my card for Paulette:

My card base and mats are SU Pretty in Pink and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Flourish 6x6 pad.  The cute vintage image is from Create With TLC.  It's called Playing Doctor.  I colored the whole little scene with my Copics.  The sentiment is also from Create With TLC.  A couple of paper flowers and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the vintage image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop on the hop is Ileana.  Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Get well soon, Paulette!  We miss you!

Here is my card for the hop:

I started with a card base of SU Pear Pizzazz and layered with patterned papers from the Kaisercraft Devonshire 6x6 pad.  I printed the image out twice on Cryogen White. I masked the image so I could airbrush the background with my Copic airbrush system and YR30 marker.  I removed the masks and colored the rest of the image with my Copics.  I cut out extra butterflies, popped them up for some dimension, then added Stickles to the butterflies and flower centers.  The image is framed with a Cheery Lynn Designs Polynesian Sails Oval die cut in Soft Sky.  The flourish was cut from Pear Pizzazz using the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die.  Some seam binding and a Webster's Pages Sparkler finished off my card.

Happy Birthday, Paulette!

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  Today is a very special day!  It's Paulette's birthday and the Create With TLC Design Team is having a little blog hop to celebrate Paulette's special day!  Paulette is so very kind and generous to share loads of freebies with everyone on the Create With TLC blog.  Be sure to stop by today and wish her a happy birthday and leave her some love!

We all decided to create birthday cards for Paulette using the same image so you can see how versatile her images can be.  The beautiful image we used is available in Paulette's store, but for the next 24 hours, we are all offering it on our blogs as a freebie.  After that, it will be available again in the store.

Here is my card for Paulette:

I started with a card base of SU Soft Sky and layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Picadilly 6x6 pad.  I printed Paulette's beautiful image, Your Celebration Quilted, on Cryogen White and colored it with my Copics.  I added some Stickles here and there for some sparkle then spritzed the whole image with Pearl Glimmer Mist to really make it shimmer!  A double-loop satin bow finished my card.

Here is the image we used.  It is now available in the store. 

Be sure to visit the rest of the DT's blogs to see their gorgeous creations for Paulette!
