Hello Stamping Friends,
Today I come today bearing a card that speaks the truth for me. A joyful heart is good medicine. Proverbs 17:22
Sometimes life seems to simply be hard. Whether is a crummy case of the flu, or a cold in the winter or something much more serious, everyone needs joy and cheer in their lives. When a friend is down, this simple truth, sent on a handmade card, could lift spirits and bring joy.
Consider it. A simple act of kindness could change someone's entire day...
Now, on to all the details for this quick and easy card. :-)
I made my card for the Paper Pal Arts sketch challenge this week and also the Create With Connie and Mary color challenge. I also submitted my card to the Paper Players sentiment challenge!
For the focal image, I used the new photopolymer stamp set, Banner Blessings and the designer paper from the Confetti Celebration.
I hope you enjoy it!
