Confession from a card maker....I'm a hugger. I love giving hugs and receiving hugs from family and friends - I miss them. The pandemic has put a kibosh on that over the last few years so the only hugs I can give are in a card! I love to have cards in my stash to send on a whim or just because.
For this hug in a card I have used the "Momma's Love" stamp from the "Spring Fever" re-release at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This Momma looks like she is comforting her little one with a hug so I think it is perfect for a hug in a card don't you?
After stamping this sweet image on alcohol marker friendly paper I coloured it with Copic markers, cut it out in a rectangle shape and used a corner punch to round the corners and soften the feel of the stamped image. I wanted my card to have a soft feel so I chose some patterned paper from the Flower Market and Spiffy Speckles pads from Lawn Fawn. I chose to keep the design of this A2 size card quite simple so the focus is on the stamp. Some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.
