A bright and cheerful encouragement card

How is everyone on this beautiful Monday? We are finally having some very nice weather here in southern Utah, it's almost Spring and I can't wait!

For today, I am sharing a card that I think we should be making more of and sending more out to those who inspire us and make us feel like we can conquer anything. We all people in our lives who lift us up and help us keep going. We could give them a simple thank you card, but I love the sentiment from the stamp set I used and the font is just beautiful. It's just a fun and different way of saying thank you, and they need encouragement too!


I pulled out my Beautiful Day Stamp set from Simon Says Stamp for this card. I stamped it using some Jet Black ink from Lawn Fawn onto some Neenah Cardstock. I made some masks with some post it notes and used them in the stamping and for masking my stamps to blend some Broken China and Peacock Feathers distress inks for the background. I flicked some water with Perfect Pearls over that to give it some texture and shine. 


I loved using my Prismacolored pencils to blend and color in the butterflies. Some Wink of Stella glitter brush pen was used on top of the butterflies and I adhered some clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to give it even more shine and sparkle. 


I hope you have been inspired to go and create or purchase an encouragement card for someone in your life who has been there for you. 

Thank you for visiting today, happy crafting!!
