Encouraging Words

 Happy Monday All . . .

Maybe it's my age (or the state of our world at this point in time),  but lately I've found a lot of people are in need of a loving, encouraging word or two.  I had that in mind when I noticed I had this stamp set in my stash and had never inked it up.  

 

This is the stamp set I'm referring to ... Stampin' Up 'In The Moment'.  And, I see it's retired but you can still find it on EBay.   I'm not really sure when/where I even got this stamp set but I'm glad I did as I like the images & sentiments.  Here are a couple of cards I made the other day to send along to a few friends whom I think could use a pick-me-up . . .

I colored my images first then I chose the papers, etc to showcase them.
I've used Tombow markers for my coloring and Tutti Designs rectangle dies.

And card #2 . . .

I have a friend who is going through some really difficult times right now and I had her in mind when putting this card together.  I think I'll pop it in the mail today and hopefully she will take the advice offered on the card.
