Ickie Sickie!
One more day till my big Spellbinders sneak peek! WOO HOO! I can’t wait to show you tomorrow! Make sure you come back! 
This card features Spellbinders Labels 2 Dies, and 2 coordinating stamps from Karen Lockhart: sniffs and ickie sickie. Karen is such a genius when it comes to clever sentiments! This one will get a lot of use on my get well cards, LOL!
I chose patterns from the Basic Grey Sugared collection for this card. These patterns are similar to the patterns in the Blush collection, and I really like them! The sniffs box was paper pieced, outlined with a Copic marker (YG93) and a real piece of tissue was pulled through a cut in the box, just like I did several months ago. 
I sponged all of the edges with Ranger vintage photo ink, and added some aged copper brads to the largest label die. While I had the sponge out, I wanted to make the white embossed sentiment “pop” more. I sponged some more vintage photo ink around it, then buffed it with a tissue.
A bit of zig zag stitching, and some Martha Stewart seam binding ribbon finish off the design. It was mounted to a Prism rose light cardbase.
Thanks for visiting! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I’m off to have some sushi for dinner…YUM!

Oh, how I love Lockhart stamps, your style, and those dies!
Now, would Lockhart PLEASE make her stamps available as unmounted rubber so we could afford more of them? ;^)*
Such a great card! Thanks so much for sharing it. My eldest is definitely ICKIE Sickie… I spent the night being thrown up on repeatedly. Maybe that’s why this cheers me so much!
