Sending Hugs

Well friends, how are you holding up?  Tell me where you are and what your status is (shelter in place or other), and how you are doing.  I truly want to know and hope that you are well.

Today, I am sending out lots of virtual hugs with this card.

Here is how I made this card.  I started by die cutting the blue paper using a Whimsy Stamps die.  I repeating the cut in white so I had the bits to fill in the windows.  I used Taylored Expressions Stamps in the top Windows and colored them with my Copics.  I think the bear is my fave.  Then I used a Create-a-Smile stencil on the bottom window with Colors that matched the Copics.  In retrospect, I may not use the stencil in the future, because the sentiments cover most of it, but… I mounted the blue layer on white with foam tape, then added in the white bits recessed.  Then I cut out the sentiments using Trinity Stamps dies and blue and orange paper (again to match the colored images) and mounted them using more foam tape.

I appreciate the visit and hope you like the card.  I do hope you are doing well and sending my thoughts (and virtual hugs) your way.

    Super cute! I love all of it…the stencil is cute behind the words, but it would be equally as cute without! The little animals peeking out are adorable!
