Card Of The Week – Release The Past

WOYWW 310: What’s On My Work Desk This Week?

This week, I am in the process of creating a care package for a friend who is going through a difficult time, and as part of that package, I wanted to create a card with a positive, affirming message that would make her feel uplifted every time she looked at it.

To reflect the situation at hand, I decided to incorporate “something old and something new” into the design!

For “something old”, I decided to use the paper scraps from the Faith, Hope & Love card I created a few weeks ago (CTMH Silhouette). Not only does it decrease some of the clutter on my workspace – it also gives me the challenge of using the same base elements to create a different card!

For “something new”, I decided to use one of the new Unity Stamp sets I recently purchased. I pulled out three sets that I could possibly incorporate into the design – but ultimately, I chose an image and sentiment from Give With All Your Heart.

I angled the image and the sentiment to add a sense of “movement” into the design – and I embellished it with coordinating floral ribbon (CTMH), lovely flowers (Petaloo), pretty pewter pearls and rhinestone bling to make it beautiful and feminine!

A pretty lacy white doily with black distressed edges peeks out and ties all of the layered pieces together.
