Get Well Kit For Whimsical Wednesdays

Wow, the sketch this week is a doozy. I am not usually stumped by sketches but this one was tough with no real space designated for a focal image. In case you want to play, apparently the corner circles are buttons. Very interesting Nicky. This was a true challenge.

So I scrounged around my alterables drawer until I found this recipe box from Michael’s $1.50 bin (we don’t get $1 stuff as much here in Canada). I’d been planning to use it for a get well kit to give to someone sick as a little gift.

I chose a pack of paper I hadn’t used much, strangely, I later noted that it actually coordinated with the bit of patterned paper that showed inside the box. Perfect, I didn’t have to cover it up!

Now my use of the sketch is pretty loose. I turned sketch 90 degrees, then turned the strip with the ‘ladder’ markings so it was parallel to the long edge and used a strip of DP with a double ribbon bow. I’m afraid I couldn’t quite figure out what to do with the lines and asterisks so I skipped ‘em. I used pearls in place of the buttons.

Cute bow huh? I used the Bow Easy of course. To make it easier to keep the two ribbons together, I used a new ribbon adhesive from Joan’s Gardens. It is quite thin, nearly invisible and best of all, it doesn’t affect the flexibility of the ribbon. It looks much prettier IRL.

I added tissues, a Mr Noodle, a little Jell-O fruit cup and I will add throat lozenges, Vit C drops, tea and one of those medicated hot drink mixes. I think it would be a nice gift to get myself so I think it will go over well for one of my friends.
