Healing Hugs

Happy Monday - hope you had a great weekend! Today I'm joining Darnell (djkardkreations) for her IDEAS project: 2nd Monday of the month so this week D = Dies/Die Cuts. Here's my take with everything except the sentiment & gingham strip being die cut!

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card; Lawn Fawn Fruit Salad Petite;

Graphic 45 Artisan Style; various scraps

Stamps - Altenew Inky Bouquet (sentiment)

Dies - Memory Box Plumed Gypsy Butterfly;

Poppystamps Fern and Daisy Pop Up Easel Set;

Hero Arts Tag Frames Infinity Dies;

Spellbinders Blooming Pomegranate (DOML-AUG23);

A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Hero Arts Grape Juice & Thistle inks

Caught up on some blog commenting this morning (including on Darnell's post) & was ready to do some die cutting! I need a card for a friend who broke her leg last week. Sweet Bonnie got knocked down by someone hurrying too much at work - freak accident, really. Luckily she could have surgery right away. We saw her the next day and she looked pretty good, though in pain. She has a long stint in rehab ahead of her so I'm planning a bunch of cards to cheer her up. 

I spotted a new-to-me Memory Box butterfly set on the craft table and decided to use it. Die cut the elements, stamped the sentiment on the label, and assembled on an A2 card with a gingham strip. Easy peasy! The leafy bits were cut from a scrap of smooshed green from last week's IDEAS card. The daisy, leaves & flower centers were cut with the Poppystamps set (see a pop-up card with it HERE) using a bunch of scraps. The small cream colored flowers were leftovers from my pomegranate card. Shaded the label with some Thistle ink.

I'm adding my card to Darnell's March NBUS Challenge since my butterfly set is newly used. 

That's it for today - thanks for stopping by!!
