Krafty Chicks challenge #705 - Anything goes

Good morning lovely crafty friends.  I hope you've had a fantastic week so far; it's almost the weekend!  I'm here today to share my card for this week's Krafty Chicks challenge and whenever there is a 5 week month Week 5 is always 'Anything Goes'.  It really can't get much easier than that can it?  
So as I said this week is 'Anything Goes' so you can go wild and create whatever you like, for whatever occasion you like.  I needed a get well card for a friend's husband so it was the perfect challenge for me.  Here is my card:
A close up of the cute images:
I decorated the inside:
I began by stamping the cute images in black ink and coloured them with my Promarkers and used the matching dies to cut them out.  I also decided to make my own patterned paper by stamping the band aid image onto light blue card using a slightly darker ink pad and added the tiny heart with red ink.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black card and used a sentiment strip die to cut it out.  I cut a card panel from white card 3 3/4" x 5" and a mat panel from black card and adhered them with double sided tape.  I added the 'patterned paper' with double sided tape down the left side of the panel.  I added the sentiment strip in the lower centre of the panel with foam squares and then placed my images overlapping it on the right side.  The panel was added to the card base with double sided tape.  I didn't add any embellishments as I liked it as it was (plus I was giving it to a man who I always think prefer it CAS).  For the inside I cut another white panel and black mat panel and adhered them with double sided tape.  I didn't think far enough ahead to make another piece of 'patterned paper' so instead stamped and die cut another 2 band aids and placed them in the lower right corner.  I stamped a sentiment in the centre with black ink.  The panel was added to the card base with double sided tape.  I really like this card and the homemade patterned paper was simple to make and looks really sweet I think.
