Love, Hugs, and Prayers

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a sympathy/hugs card.  Unfortunately, I'm needing a lot of those lately.  It took me several days to make since my mojo has taken another unauthorized "leave of absence". 

I started out by stamping four WP846 Watercolor Butterflies from Impression Obsession on scrap white card stock in some rarely used (RBUS) Versamagic mango and thatched straw chalk ink before fussy cutting two of the butterflies out to pop up later.  I then stamped the love and prayers words in the same chalk ink onto the uncut panel before stippling Tim Holtz wild honey and spiced marmalade ink on the side and over the stamped images.  I then spritzed some orange ink over that using a color spritzer tool and an orange marker.  After layering the image panel, I added some punched some "faux brads" using punched circles and a glue pen. 

For the card, I stamped the background using images from the same Watercolor Butterflies set in memento tangelo ink before stippling spiced marmalade around the edges.  I then added my fussy cut butterflies to the image panel using glue dots before adding black pearls to the center of the bodies.  My final embellishment was spritzing the orange marker ink over the popped up butterflies.

Challenges entered:

Impression Obsession - Sending Hugs

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!
