I decided to create a monochromatic card using one patterned paper and one solid paper that I embossed. (This week's Ways to Use It challenge asks us to use purple, and I love making purple cards!) I also changed the sentiment to make this a "get well" card.
I started by adhering the patterned paper to a heavy white card stock base. I embossed a piece of Elegant Eggplant card stock, then cut it into a triangle and adhered it to the patterned paper. I stamped my sentiment using Elegant Eggplant ink on Whisper White card stock, then die cut it. I applied Lovely Lilac chalk to the circle and attached it to the card front using dimensionals. Finally, I added some Lavender Lace liquid pearls...and they looked really nice until I dropped the card while the pearls were still wet! I was able to repair the damage, but please don't look too closely at those pearls!!

Monochromatic purple was a great way to go for the WT challenge! Love your text paper and the contrast with the embossed cardstock. What a great get well card.
