A Note to Cheer You Up!

Hello everyone!  I hope you're managing to stay warm so far in this cold start to 2018!  It has been freezing even in Florida! 

I have so many friends that I have met through music (from singing and from playing ukulele) and today's card is "a note to cheer up" one of them.  I was looking for bright, happy colors of designer paper and came across Kaisercraft's Hopscotch, which is vibrant and has the bonus of having some punch-out elements (like that scalloped border) that make card-making quick and easy. This particular print even had a sprinkling of music notes on a few of the pieces!    

The sentiment on the outside of the card is one of the companion sentiments that goes along with our pretty Stamp Simply Get Well Tulip.  I could have stamped "praying for your rapid recovery," but opted instead for a sentiment from Blessings and Beatitudes 1 for the inside so that it would fit better on the long, narrow punch-out element.  

Here are the supplies I used to make today's project:

• Kaisercraft Hopscotch 6.5x6.5
• Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Combo Offer/Stamp & Die Tulip
• Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Blessings/Beatitudes 1
• Memento Full Size Dye Ink Pad - Tuxedo Black
• Copic markers
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad - Tea Dye
• Tim Holtz Tonic Stamp Platform
• Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool
• Seam Binding - Soft Seafoam - 5 yard Bundle
• May Arts Burlap String - 10 yard Bundle
• Rhinestones - Hot Pink
• Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue
• Scrapbook Adhesives-3L 3D Self-adhesive Foam Squares - Mix

I will definitely be keeping my friend in my prayers.  I hope this card will bring a smile to her face and some light and joy to her spirit.
