Miles Apart

The sentiment on today’s card, my 24th card this month, is even more meaningful in the times we are living. Like many of you, I have not seen alot of my friends in the past couple of months. I have tried to stay connected by sending cards. So far, since March I have mailed over 170 cards to friends, coworkers, family members, to senior centers, and more! So I feel especially connected to this sentiment.

You can find the sentiment in the Lovely You stamp set which will be released at the start of June. I paired it up with the In Good Taste paper stack. It is photographic Designer Series Paper in various wood, tile and texture prints in neutrals. I cut them into strips of various widths and adhered them in an overlapping pattern. The sentiment is also stamped on a strip of DSP.

I added a vellum circle that I stamped and embossed in Whisper White the little stem from the stamp set. I stamped it once more on Grey Granite and fussy cut it out. I added a few of the clear gems from the Flowers for Every Season Gems collection. They almost look like a water droplet on the card! I love the 3D effect that they add.
