This Daydreamer mermaid get well card was fun to make -- my mermaid is holding her own piece of kleenex and has a red runny nose. Poor baby, she also has her box of tissues sitting just below the rock where she is trying to get some rest.
1. To get her to hold the kleenex, use your smallest punch and punch a row of 3 dots at her hand.
2. Poke the corner of a piece of tissue through the hole and secure with tape from the back.
3. Kleenex box is a square with left top and bottom right diagonal corners snipped off.
4. Draw lines on the back connecting diagonals to see where to cut and create your box.
5. Mount the pieces on a contrasting color leaving a margin of color showing through.
6. Cut with a scant 1/8 inch border.
7. Mount that on a punched circle or 2.
8. Dimensionally mount on the corner of the cardstock.
Inside text ideas .... Feeling under the water? Hope you feel on top of things soon.
Or ... ( my personal favorite ) Nothing magic, nothing fishy --- Just a little get well wishy.
