Time for my favorite challenge! This week, we were to use newsprint or a book page on our card. All I can say is CHALLENGE is the absolute correct term here. I was really stumped … until I looked at the C.C. Designs images I had and saw this adorable Nurse Nora. It all made perfect sense after that! 🙂 (TG!)
Here’s the full — VERY BRIGHT — card
Don’t ya just love her shiny red boots??!!
I decided to make a card for someone (seems like EVERYONE at this time of year) who is suffering from a cold/flu bug. I included an article from the internet on “How to Care for a Cold“. The DP used is from the Basic Grey June Bug 6×6 paper pad ~ I thought the center print looked just like a warm, cozy quilt ~ Exactly what is needed when suffering from a cold or flu!
Here’s a closeup of a portion of the article … I love the first item “Eat chicken soup“!
TWO new items of interest! Nurse Nora’s wings were painted with a new SMOOCH paint product. You know I LOVE Smooch paint! It’s called Smooch Illuminate Pearlized Top Coat, and YES, I love it! It’s similar to shimmerz paint, but doesn’t leave that dark glitter appearance. The glitter is an iridescent combo of pinks and greens – VERY cool IRL.
AND, I’ve finally used my Nellie Snellen flower punches/embossers (?) for this card! Yes, I love them too! 🙂 Tab from 7KCF has just added this NEW set to the store, now up for preorder!
Be sure to take a peek at all the cards for this challenge from the awesome ATS Wednesday Challenge Design Team. There is a prize up for grabs, if you join us — all the details can be found here.
Happy Wednesday … we’re getting closer!

If I were sick, I know I would feel much better after receiving this bright and cheerful card! I always have to stare at your amazing coloring(and of course look at the colors you used…thank you!) Such creative to add the special note on colds too. I have never used smooch…how does it differ from radiant pearls or H2O’s? Looks like fun to use. Great post today girlie!
