Sending Smiles Part 2 #Frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu

Sending Smiles 

Part 2

Continuing on from my last blog for Global Design Project's entry #GDP039 's 'Get Well Soon' theme I have made 2 more cards for another entry as well. 

But these cards have a dual purpose!

A lovely young lady Petra Tailor, who is part of a group that I also belong to, would like to start a mini movement of sorts for the month of July....And I am with her...It is to try and help those that we know who are feeling low, depressed or just in need of a friend, know that they are loved and cared about by sending a card. 

Petra say's it perfectly!

 'In this digital age, we send texts, but do you remember how lovely it is to receive something in the mail that isn't a bill!?! To know that someone cares enough to let you know they are there for you, with an encouraging sentence or two. It's something that you can keep forever and never forget......It is beautiful'

So if you are interested in joining the movement by helping a friend in July, Make a card and send it to a friend...If you like the idea, like me, post about it to get others involved in the month of July with the hashtag #Frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu

Here are my cards

#frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu #Numberofyears #Timelesstextures #Watercolorwings #KOCreationscards #Greatestgreetings #GDP039

For these cards I used a number of current stamp sets stamped onto Whisper white. Timeless Textures was stamped first in Basic Grey. I then stamped the leaves from the  Number of Years set in Pear Pizzazz.  Also from the Number of years set I stamped the different small flowers in Watermelon Wonder, Crushed Curry & Bermuda Bay.

For the butterflies I used the Water Color Wings and stamped them in Crushed Curry first, then Watermelon Wonder and finished with the Basic Black...stamping off the paper first before stamping the image.

I used the Layering Squares framelit for one sentiment, both sentiments have been stamped onto whisper white in Basic Grey using the Greatest Greeting stamp set. Then layered onto Basic Grey card stock.

Before putting my card fronts onto the Basic Grey backings I distressed the edges with a file. I added a thread pulled from my Burlap ribbon under the butterflies after they had been die cut using the Bold Butterflies thinlits. They were then raised onto dimensionals. 

I made the inside of the cards to match the fronts with a bit more space left clear, for a personal message.
