Don't Worry

 This stamp had me giggling the whole time I was colouring it and all I could think was ... we all get by with a little help from our friends. The ant on the bottom sure is struggling..but look at that smile - through gritted teeth - but it's a smile none the less. I decided to make this card featuring "Drink Lemonade" to add to my stash so I have it on hand when a friend or family member needs a pick me up. 

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut it. After deciding I wanted a picnic scene I found some patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and MFT and cut them to size. I die cut a grass border, clouds and a sun to help create my scene and glued everything down. 

Once it was all glued down, I used a circle die to cut a hole in the middle of my scene. I added a card stock circle behind the piece I cut out and added it to the card front with pop dots. Once that was securely attached I glued the stamp to the circle. To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment, added it to card stock and added some enamel dots to three corners.

Don't Worry

We all have times in our lives that are hard to get through alone so I love to have cards in my stash that I can send to a friend or family member when they are going through a hard time to hopefully bring a smile and let them know I am thinking of them and here for them.

"Turtle Ride" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is a stamp that makes me smile and I think it is perfect for a pick me up, thinking of you, encouragement card.

I stamped this adorable pair on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured them with Copic markers and hand fussy cut them leaving a thin white edge. Patterned paper from a Honey Bee paper pad matched perfectly along with some speckled paper from Lawn Fawn. 

I cut the patterned paper layers to fit my 5.5"x 5.5" base. To create the little scene behind them, I cut the speckled paper with a rectangle die, added a die cut piece of grass and a few clouds. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a fish tail banner die and added a matching piece of card stock behind it. Some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.
