Today I am sending a hug – a hug to you my lovely reader, a hug to all my fellow Stamptastic Friends, and a hug to celebrate National Hug Day which is coming up this week on 21st January. #nationalhugday
As giving hugs is not allowed under current Covid-19 conditions, the best way we can actually do this is to send a card. So for todays hug in an envelope, here’s the card I made :
I used the Oh So Ombre papers to create my background. I love this collection of papers – 48 sheets in 4 different colour ways – Rococco Rose, Blackberry Bliss, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay. I’ve just created a class to showcase these papers, and it’s been so much fun creating with them.
The class focuses on showing different ways to use papers – I love this method of creating 3 panels.
To add interest I also stamped on the paper before cutting into the 3 strips. I used the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set – it had the perfect simple outline flower for my needs – and stamped in Memento Black ink for a simple but striking effect.
For the sentiment I punched out a Heart in Rococco Rose and a Scalloped heart in Whisper White and layered together – the sentiment again comes from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp set. Perfect finish for this hug in an envelope.
So what do you think? Who would you send one to and when will you commit to sending a hug?
