I want you to think about the ocean when you look at this ‘Get Well Soon’ handmade card. A painted whale swims at the surface of the water, greenary shown off with ribbons, vertical striped paper depicting the ripple effect of the water and foam paper for some underwater dimension. Papers with some sheen was used to show the light reflecting off the waters.

This ‘Many Thanks!’ card has eight different layers. The flower on the top layer is hand drawn to match the print and water colors were used to paint it. I used gel pens to go over the borders of the flowers on the print to give it some dimension. I love the feel of handmade paper and used it as the base for the card.
