Speedy Get Well Wishes

Photo Details

Poster: Covington Crafter

Lisa's challenged us to make some Get Well cards for this week's Ways to Use It challenge, That's What the Doctor Ordered.

Do you remember Speedy, the Alka Seltzer mascot? Well here he is with loads of bubbles and get well wishes. I stamped, embossed and fussy cut Speedy. Die cut a circle and stamped the sentiment. I used a salted bg from my stash and finished it off with diecut bubbles from Susie. TFL

The colours in this are perfect, bringing up long-forgotten memories. I can hear the fizz! The bubble die cut is so perfect.

Salted BG, I wondered how you created it. It was perfect for the image and that wonderful die cut from Susie. Your speedy image is super adorable and perfect for a get well card. Thank you for creating a wonderful sample card for the challenge.
