Paper Hugs

There is a new challenge – Challenge #582 – Colour Challenge and this is my 3rd attempt at a card. Don’t know why it was so difficult this afternoon, but nothing worked initially.

I have a few new supplies, one of which is from Spellbinders and is an EF as well as a die. I tested it out when it arrived and had this piece on my desk. Then today other new supplies arrived and the balloons are from a Simple Stories stamp set. I coloured with pencils and fussy cut them. The sentiment is from a Crafters Companion set and the hearts are from Scrapbook.com.

To assemble I added some foam tape around the arch, but before sticking down I made sure I had the right placement for the words and hearts. Once I was sure they looked right I added the arch and then the balloons.

The other two efforts, won’t get wasted, but they aren’t good enough for posting to my blog. Perhaps after I’ve fixed them a bit? This effort will likely go to my friend in Toronto as she is battling ALS and needs lots of encouragement.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.

  6. Super cute! I have the set of Spellbinders dies and EF but it doesn’t fit in my mini machine, so I haven’t been able to use it. Lovely seeing it used.
