You're The Best

Who would have guessed that you could fit a great big hug in an envelope?!

I couldn’t stop “awing” over this adorable image called “To Daddy” (illustrated by Mo Manning) from Penny Black.

Tip/Hint:  Simply omit inking “dad” on the envelope to send a hug to a big brother, uncle and/or grandfather. 

Create this “embrace” in 5 steps:

1. Stamp “To Daddy” on a 3 ¼ x 3 ½ piece of white cardstock in Onyx Black VersaFine and heat emboss with clear powder.  Color the image as desired.
2. Adhere the colored image to a 3 ½ x 4 ½ side folded card created from Coral Reef cardstock. 
3. Stamp “You’re the Best” on a 5/8 x 3 ½ piece of white cardstock in Onyx Black VersaFine and heat emboss with clear powder.  Tip/Hint: Alter existing sentiments to create new phrases.  In this instance, the phrase “You’re simply the best” was tweaked.
4. Adhere the sentiment to a 7/8 x 3 ½ piece of Coral Reef cardstock stamped with “Inspiring” in Love Letter Memento.
5. Attach the sentiment band to the left edge of the finished card with dimensional foam.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Hugs,

Elizabeth
