Young at Heart

The inspiration for my card comes from the positivity I’ve been witnessing by people across the world. We’ve all been affected by this virus, that to this point has confounded all peoples of all ethnicities. But I know that, although a time-frame has yet to be determined, we will come through this knowing more about many things and we, as a world, will be united as never before. 

For all that are suffering from illnesses that make us more susceptible to this pest and to all those who are caring for our loved ones, this card is for you. For all the essential workers who are keeping our country moving this is for you.  For all those families whose lives are forever changed, this one is for you. May God bless us, and may we feel his arms around us, as we move through these difficult times.

I chose the stamps and colors for this card to represent our need to be light-hearted.  Please enjoy!  This is for you.

Cut this piece using the largest rectangle and then cut down again, approximately ¾”, maintaining the width and decreasing the length to about 3”.

Layer the DSP slightly higher than 

midpoint on your embossed piece. 

Layer this piece above the DSP to add interest and dimension to your card.

Using Dimensionals, stick them away from the edges and corners of the DSP, to avoid the glimmer paper beneath, ensuring the best adhesion.
