one of my closest friends is moving out of state this weekend. i needed a card that could tell her i knew the change coming her way is right and to trust her heart.
this is a stamp set from close to my heart (ctmh). it's called treasures (you can't buy it right now - it was a stamp of the month from the last idea book). i used a hero arts background stamp for the clouds. after a couple experiment stamps, i discovered the best way to get a nice look for the sky was to just rub the inkpad all over the stamp; i liked that it gave the sky a subtle swirly effect.
i used the flower image from the ctmh stamp set and stamped it on vellum before fussy-cutting it out. i used vellum to give it the effect that it is just blowing in a gentle breeze.
on the inside of the card is a stamp that says 'trust your heart'. if i designed my own stamp set for this exact card i couldn't have made it any more perfect. :)
i miss you already ashlie!
