Sorry About Your Boo Boo!


 Hello!  I am still playing with Trinity Stamps Soup Can Card Die.  I don't know exactly why I am drawn to the pieces that create a pill bottle, but here we are.......another pill bottle.

My initial plan was to leave the little bandages loose in the bottle, but they didn't move around the way I wanted them to, so I wound up gluing them in place.  

When I make a shaker card, I prefer to make the shaker well out of paper as opposed to using foam tape.  I think it is a cleaner and more efficient way to do it.  For this card, I taped the two die pieces that form the shaker shape together.

I will cut this out of 110lb cardstock five times.  Once I have my frames cut out, I will glue them all together.  


I didn't want the back of the bottle to be a bright turquoise like the outside frame, so I cut a piece of vellum to tone it down a little.  I glued the vellum to the back of the bottle and then adhered the back to the bottle frame.  


I cut out and assembled eight bandages out of an apricot colored cardstock using the Tiny Bandage Die Set.  I did a little bit of inking with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink to the edges to give them a little more dimension.  I also cut out a heart shape from that die set and heat embossed a "sad face" on it.  I arranged six bandages in the "well".


I adhered the piece of acetate that I cut to the turquoise frame and then adhered it to the bottle enclosing the bandages.  


I cut the bottle cap from white cardstock and inked the edges with Hickory Smoked Distress Oxide Ink to give it a little dimension.  I glued the bottle to the card base.  Then, I glued the bottle edge to the bottle and then placed foam glue dots on the overhang.  I placed glue dots on the bottle top to the card base to complete the bottle shape.  


 For the inside of the card, I used the can card die to cut out one side of the can from white cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the Healing Wishes stamp set on white cardstock and then adhered it to the inside of the card.  The sentiment on the outside of the pill bottle is from the Indispensable Stamp and Die Set.  

To finish up the card, I applied the last two bandages to the outside of the bottle.  


I really like the way this card turned out and I really like that it isn't your typical get well card.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!!
