I have seen it said that a card is like a paper hug. Since we can’t hug anyone outside our households, I thought this “Hugs” sentiment would be perfect. Let’s all send cards to people we temporarily cannot see.
I am continuing to use bits and pieces from my half-done box. This background was stamped with Hero Arts Leafy Vines background stamp on patterned paper. I clearly already had the idea to cut it up, as it was cut into 3 equal pieces. So I mounted this on kraft.
I also had this butterfly, cut and colored, from Gina K’s Whimsical Spring set (one of my oldest stamp sets, I am sure it must be retired) so I went to that stamp set to find my sentiment. I used a scrap of Applemint green cardstock for the die cut, but it was too bright, so I used some Vintage Photo distress ink and sponged over it to tone it down.
I would love to enter Hero Arts Stay Crafty Challenge - Encouragement, WordArtWednesday’s Anything Gos Challenge and Pixie’s Crafty Workshop’s Snippet Challenge.
Thank you for visiting today! Stay well and keep on stamping!

Heidi, I love this card. I have this Leafy Vine stamp and love it. The way that you cut up the panel is a great design. I, too, am trying to use up all those bits and pieces that I save for a long time. Hugs!
This is a way that people can reach out to each other..... the forgotten art of giving a card. What a great reminder in these trying times! ps that swirly background stamp is divine!
Those split panels look great and I know I can sure use an extra hug or two, so good for you sending hugs!
