Get Well Soon Card

This quick and easy Get Well Soon card can be thrown together in minutes and uses up scraps you might have around.  It doesn’t have to be purple, just stick with the same color scheme and it will look amazing.  As you can see, I added a little “sparkle” to the card that takes it up over the top.  Make a few of these to have around for when you need them… you could even use it as a birthday or just because card!
