Today’s card is a mix of Old and New products. The cardstock and ink have just arrived in the Upcoming Annual Catalog. The stamp set and elements are retiring and/ or carrying over. I love coordinating our different products for a quick and easy project.
Paper Hugs Close The Distance
One of the best things to me is a Hug! However, due to the virus, and usually a distance between friends, a Paper Hug is the next best thing! This sentiment is from the Comfort & Hope stamp set. Sadly it is retiring now. But I think this little sentiment will have to stay here with me. It is so appropriate just to let someone know you are thinking of them.
New Meets Old Products
I chose the new Soft Succulent card stock for the base of my card. Actually I did not do an additional layer. I stamped directly on the base. All of the stamps are from the Comfort & Hope stamp set. The background design stamps are stamped using Soft Succulent Ink and Evening Evergreen Ink. The lighter stamping down the center is the Soft Succulent.
The Hydrangea Mercury Glass was a bold choice to go with the soft of the succulent color. I wanted it to stand out with the sentiment. I think I succeeded!!! The mercury glass is cut using the die from the Painted Labels Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen on Purple Posy cardstock.
For finishing touches, I added the bow from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo. The check ribbon is a great match to these two green color. To coordinate with the Mercury Glass, I added three of the Pastel Pearls for a bit more of the purple.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. Please come back on Monday for another new project.
