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.

Turtle Ride

Howdy - MichelleO here with a pair of Great Friends! This is High Hopes Stamps Turtle Ride - What a great friend to offer a ride for a friend.  

 

 

I colored these two good friends with my Copics (colors below) and found some older papers by Scribble Scrabble. Love the vintage color combo of this collection. All the layers are sewn down and then a Fiskars border punch and green silk ribbon for a border. The High Hopes Stamp sentiment "Thank You for being a friend"  works really well with this duo - I punched it out with a EK Success Ticket punch and then matted with a scrap piece of pattern paper.
