Words of Encouragement, Let's Get Hopping #22

Sometimes we all need someone to simply be there, not to fix anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about.  The Let's Get Hopping team are sharing card designs today to inspire you to send some love to someone you know who may be facing one of life's many rough patches.

I've pulled out some retired Stampin' Up! favourites for my project today.

Supplies
Stamps: Petal Palette, Part of the Story
Card: Whisper White
Paper:  Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper (retired)
Ink: Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, Memento Tuxedo Black, Basic Gray
Accessories & Tools:  Stampin' Sponge, Big Shot, Petals and More Thinlets, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Berry Burst Finely Woven Ribbon, Pool Party Stampin' Blends, Pool Party and Silver Bakers Twine
Adhesives: Tombow Multi-purpose Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Double sided tape or SNAIL, Tear'n'Tape

I have all these gorgeous patterned papers that are just calling out to be made into projects.  This Fresh Florals pattern is so beautiful.  I decided to modify it a little though, sponging over the white background with some pool party for a softer look.  I've included the written instructions for this project below in case you want to make it along with me!

Step by Step

1. Sponge pool party ink onto patterned panel 149 x 101mm.  Attach to front of folded white card base 149 x 202mm. 
2. Die cut whisper white rectangle 42mm wide.  Trim off one side.  Stamp sentiment in gray.  Add strip of ribbon to the bottom with Tear'n'Tape.  Attach to card front.  
3. Stamp leaf detail in lime on white.  Fussy cut and glue.  
4. Add a strip of Tear'n'Tape to attach some loops of twine over the leaves. 
5. Stamp bird in black ink on white card.  Add colour with Stampin' Blend markers.  Cut with coordinating die. Attach with dimensionals over the place where the twine is attached.
