Wishing You Brighter Days

Hi crafters!  Another All In One card for today's offering, but this one is a really quick and easy make!  I started with a piece of white card and embossed it with the Symmetry In Play embossing folder.   Next, I used a piece of Pixie Powder card that I made using the Midnight Blue Pixie Powder.  I cut the Wishing You Brighter Days die out of a piece of white card on top and the pixied piece below it.  The white card cut the complete die cut but the pixied sheet only cut the outer edge.  I cut the die again out of black card, then used that as a shadow behind the white die cut.  I glued them onto the pixied oval, then added mounting foam and attached it to the embossed background.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 
6 1/2"  x  8"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

    Oh Sue I find it hard to put into words how I felt when this gorgeous inspiration loaded, I think it raised one of those emotions we find hard to explain and have felt it more since last March. This sentiment gets straight to the heart, we all need them, wish I could provide them, thanks Sue. Love a brighter days to absolutely everyone xxx STAY SAFE IN 21 xxx ❤

    Good Morning Sue and all.
    I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. The 'pause' button was pressed a few times and then I but started to think about the blog and here I am. I'm sure that we all wish for brighter days and eventually they will come. I love the way you have presented the message and will put it onto a card for my eyes only in BIG LETTERS.
    Thank you Sue for all you do.
    Marie P.
    KEEP SAFE

    Hi Sue, sorry I missed yesterday. Today's card is a lovely CAS card and I really like that embossing folder. As I have said before, the sentiment is so appropriate for these troubled times.

    This die set is perfect for my favorite reason to send a card...simply to encourage and uplift someone. This year has been difficult for so many so sending a card meant to Brighten Your Day is the best possible reason for sending a card.
