It was my friend's birthday this past weekend and I only had 10 minutes to quickly make her a card. Luckily, I remembered that awhile ago she was looking for a sign that says "breathe." Don't we all need a good reminder to breathe now and then? So, I cut out "breathe" from My Art Challenges collage sheet.

Okay, now I need a card for my "breathe" label. Luckily, I have some watercolored papers on hand. (Usually when I'm working on a project and I've got leftover paint, instead of tossing it, I'll paint a few pieces of paper.)

---

I think this watercolored paper looks nice so I fold it in half and use a bone folder to get the crease all nice and neat.

---

Bruno says "Breathe"....only 5 minutes left to do the inside of the card. By the way, I added some watercolor crayon to the edges and highlighted a few areas on the label to give a more cohesive look.

---

Nice note on the inside with a Sharpie marker. Check.

I got my friend a Michaels gift card so I wanted to attach it to the card in a fun way. I stuck it inside a vellum envelope, cut the edge so the card could easily slide in and out...and adhered it to the card with Glue Dots.

---

I decide to write "happy birthday" all around the gift card. And I get the bright idea to write her name in red: "Keltie." But OH NO, only 2 minutes left and I messed up! It looks horrible! What's a girl to do???

Thank goodness for My Art Challenges collage sheet! lol! There's a perfect little scrap on the sheet that I cut out and fits perfectly to cover my mistake. Phew! Then I add her name in glitter sticker letters. Note to self: when in a hurry, use sticker letters for goodness sakes! lol.
