Hang in There (Encouragement)


 

 A friend of my daughter's is going through some tough times and my daughter asked me to make a card. I thought this card would put a smile on their face and let them know that someone cares.

To create this card, I began with die cutting a front panel in blue card stock. Next, I cut out a cloud shape on the panel. At the same time, different sizes of cloud images were die cut, to be added to the panel later.

The tree image was stamped on white card stock, colored with Copics and die cut. The owl image was die cut and assembled. The sentiment was computer generated and die cut. 

Now it was time to put it all together. The base card was prepared in white card stock. The focal panel was adhered to the base using fun foam. Finally, the tree image, owl, clouds and sentiment were positioned and adhered using dimensionals. My project was complete.

Here are the materials/products used:

Card Stock:  GKD White, Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice (used my last sheet of this one...no longer available at GKD's; SU Spring Rain

Ink:   Distress Oxide Vintage Photo  (to sponge edges of the bird images)
