Contemplation Equals Kindness and Understanding

I was contemplating my next project and decided upon something to send to someone I love so dearly.  She's really struggling right now with a health issue and along with her in her struggle are her son and daughter and their families. 

This card is for her, specifically.  In addition to her, this card is for all those struggling with health issues, be they physical, emotional, both. And most importantly, this card is for everyone.  Because you see, we're all in this together.  When one human being is suffering we are all suffering.  Whether we know this person or not.  In knowing this we must all strive to make our lives better with regard to this. 

What we do does not have to be BIG.  What we need to do is something that is intended to improve the life of another.  A smile, a helping hand, an acknowledgement of others. 

With that said, I'm sharing this card with YOU.  You are special, you are cared about and you are important.

Let's build on #SaraDouglass's plea to #makeacardsendacard.  I'll list below the ingredients for this card, if you would like to replicate it.

Sincerely,

Tammie

Colorful Seasons Meets Embossing

If you've been following my posts you'll recognize the background on this card.  If not, check in my previous post to learn how I did this.  Also, the impression left on the embossed area of this card is done by embossing several layers of gold embossing powder and while the final layer is still hot and slightly liquid I used my stamp to impress the greeting.

Here are the ingredients and measurements of this card. Check out my video below as I talk you through what I did.
