If it doesn't feed your soul, let it go.
Hey there from Nannyland,
What better way to convey love and caring thoughts across the miles than by sending a lovingly created handmade card displaying a beautiful soulful-eyed image like this one from Conie Fong Art. This sweet bouquet-toting lady is called Susie Sunshine and you can find her in Conie's Etsy shop HERE..
I designed the 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 square card in Cricut Design Space using a cut file from the image library called Heart Scallop (#M43611164). It's so easy to use the writing feature to customize sentiments and perfectly position them on a card. The scalloped heart layer is cut from red foil card stock and the scallops are embellished with white pearl gems. The white cardstock panel is dry embossed with a dot pattern and edged with a silver leafing pen, along with the blue base panel. The pretty bow that comes with the heart image set is embellished with a red glitter acrylic heart, white die cut mini bow and blue gem. I sized my image in Microsoft Word and downloaded it from my computer onto Xpressit blending paper. It was a delight to bring this adorable image to life with Copic markers, fussy cut her and then adhere her to my background with mounting tape.
I'm excited to send this card to a friend who is going through a rough patch right now. I wish I could be there to comfort her in person but I hope some handmade love will make her burden a little lighter. Have I inspired you to make and send a card to someone who could really use a little dose of handmade love?
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
