Happy Friday! This fun Double Time get well card was created using the beautiful Naturally Gilded 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, a little ink blending, and dies from the Deckled Rectangles Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies.

I started off with a 5-1/4″ x 4″ panel of the silver Naturally Gilded 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used a blending brush to blend So Saffron ink towards the bottom center of the panel, then ink blended Starry Sky ink above the yellow area.

On the ink blended panel, I used the 3rd smallest Deckled Rectangle to die cut from the center of the panel. This die cut rectangle was matted to a mat in Starry Sky ink. The mat was cut using the 4th to smallest Deckled Rectangle.

The large ink blended panel was adhered to the front of a Starry Sky card base. The matted rectangle was adhered to the center of the card front and I was careful to line up the tree patterns on the large panel and the smaller rectangular panel. This is the awesome Double Time technique! How fun!

From the Cottage Rose Stamp Set I stamped the sentiment onto the 2″ x 2″ piece of So Saffron cardstock and used the 3rd to smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies set to cut out the label. I used a short length of Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon and folded the ribbon in half and adhered the folded section of the ribbon to the lower right of the small rectangle on the card front. The sentiment label was adhered over top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the narrow DSP strip and rectangle for the envelope, I again ink blended So Saffron ink towards the bottom of these sections, then ink blended Starry Sky on the remaining areas of the designer series paper. The strip was adhered down the right side of the inside panel and then the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

The 6″ x 2-1/5″ ink blended designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap and I trimmed away the excess paper from the flap to finish off the envelope.

I had a lot of fun making this easy Double Time card! Give it a try!
