Super Hero in Scrubs


I have taken part in the progressive freebie on the Facebook group of Stamper's Delights and we were given 2 great freebie packs of stamps all related to our NHS Super Heroes.

I used the nurse from the pack Medical Heroes 2. The image has been coloured with Promarkers, fussy cut and mounted onto thin 3d foam squares.

Birdie Brown / Torico was one of my favourite digi artists and she designs rubber stamps now for My Favourite Things. They offered some limited edition digital stamps with a medical theme and the sentiment and pill bottle were from these packs. The hypodermic needle was a weekly freebie from Oddball Art Co.

I have added some home made enamel dot 'pills' that are made from pony beads that you melt in the oven. I bought a couple of small bags from Ebay and these pearlescent ones worked really well.  I found the tutorial here on Creative Bug on the Loose a long time ago and finally got round to making them. For this style you put 2 very close together so they melt into one another. I am really pleased with how they turned out and you would never believe they cost only pennies.

The card is a double Z fold. I have never made on before. I saw Sara Davies making one on Crafter's TV and it looked so easy but really effective. Once you have your card folded it is just a case of cutting papers to fit on the individual sections. I inked around the spotty paper with an old dry inkpad.

I added the personalised sentiment, trimmed the corners with a Woodware punch and the light blue frame is a Classical Frame Die'sire die from Crafter's Companion which was one of the first dies I ever bought from there.

Unfortunately my friend has just tested positive for the Covid-19 virus so this card will hopefully cheer her up. It sounds like she doesn't have it too badly at the moment but I feel so sorry for her as she has caught it from doing her job, something which I am sure many frontline workers are scared of.

  20. I think this is tremendously sweet and will be so appreciated. Ah, the hazards of working in healthcare... I don't think anyone expected something like Covid when they went to school for medicine. We're all so thankful for their hard work, long hours, sacrifices, and their willingness to put themselves in harms way. Than you so much for sharing this with us at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge!!!
