For my project today, I thought I'd make a Sweet Encouragement card! It's always good to have a few on hand to brighten a loved one's day with an uplifting handmade creation!... 8-) And you know I love how quick and easy this Fun set made it to put it all together too! ;-)
I stamped my Adorable You Make Me Happy Wellies & Umbrella a couple times with Memento Tuxedo black and did a bit of paper piecing. I colored the rest up with my trusty Copics & cut them all out with the help of the Rainy Days Dies & popped them up with a bit of foam tape onto layered SB Classic Circles die cuts that I popped up with more foam tape as well. My mats & BG layers were created with a combination of Choice Buttercream CS, the Super Darling June KI Kits CS's & dp's from Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 collection and TE's Small Scallop Border Die. To finish it all up, I stamped my sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa onto one of my Rainy Days Cloud Die Cuts and added a touch of shading with Tumbled Glass Distress ink...8-)
Here are the items I used for my project today...
So cute! Your paper piecing is awesome. I wouldn't mind adding these adorable Wellies and umbrella to my wardrobe. I could have used them the last few days.

ReplyDeleteGreat card, Miss Shannon! Seems to be feast or famine with the rain, doesn't it? We are grateful to have our water tables building up in Florida with the early, heavy rains. But so many others have problems from the storms. Your little card reminds us to keep smiling - such pretty colors, too! hugs, de
