The card is 6 1/4"x4 1/2." I used kraft card stock for the card base. I then cut my mats: grey- 5"x3 1/2," red- 4 7/8"x3 3/8," and yellow- 4 3/4"x3 1/4." I embossed the yellow mat with one of the Cuttlebug embossing folders from James' Set. The chevrons were cut from the "Boho Graphics Iron-On" cartridge. I sized them at 3," but turned them sideways to put them on my card. I used Cricut Craft Room to hide the contours on the open pieces, then cut them again in red. I cut a piece of kraft card stock at 5/8"x3" and trimmed it into a banner shape. I used a stamp from Paper Smooches for my sentiment. I then drew it over it again with a grey gel pen.
I made this for the following challenges:
BBTB2: get well card
Color Throwdown: basic grey, riding hood red, crumb cake, daffodil delight
Scrappy Moms Stamps: use red and yellow
My Craft Spot: sketch
