My lovely friend needed a boost before tackling a challenge

I designed this card to remind my lovely friend she had it in the bag and just needed to remember how fabulous she is. The bright happy colours are really uplifting and the sweet flowers seemed the perfect combination.

Now I’ve used quite a selection of products. Have you spotted the flowers in the A Big Thank you stamp set? There are outlines and solid flower stamps and I choose to use one of each to create a background pattern using Pacific Point and Poppy Parade ink.

I always think if you are making one card you might has well make four and have the others for another day – so for this card I stamped an entire A4 sheet of Whisper White cardstock with the pattern and then cut it to size, 9.5 cm by 13.8 cm, for the card front.

The base is a piece of the Thick Whisper White cardstock cut in half and scored. I prefer to use the Thick cardstock for card bases. I like to have a stock of them ready so often cut and score a whole pack of card in advance.

The “Oh darling you are fabulous” is from the Stitched All Around stamp set and the matching Stitched Label dies. These are definite favourites of mine. I added a piece of ribbon behind the die before popping it up on dimensionals.

The Colourful Seasons stamp set has the sentiment “Just Breathe” which was perfect for this occasion! It is always a bit nerve wracking stamping inside once the card is finished but no mishaps this time!

I’m going to add different sentiments to the other four cards as I need them, However, it is great to have them ready to go!
