The current challenge at Time Out is “Brave!”
I have the perfect card for it made for one of my granddaughters when she gave up a persistent habit that she needed break. As we all know, breaking a habit is NOT an easy task, and even more difficult, I think, for a little one. We had a celebration, and this is the card I took.
With four granddaughters, I was pretty sure I’d come up with a variety of reasons to use this fun My Favorite Things stamp, “You’re Super.” I started by blending bright yellow ink through the MFT’s “Radiating Rays” stencil on white cardstock and added it to a red card base. I stamped the Super Girl image on X-Press Blending paper, colored her with Copic markers and fussy cut it out. I also stamped the silhouette of the city on separate paper and again fussy cut it.
Once I had arranged those pieces on the stenciled background I decided on a strip of white cardstock with a thin border of black for the sentiment. That gave our Super Hero a place to stand. The sentiment was just perfect for the occasion, and I added a die cut arrow from Papertrey Ink’s “Get to the Point” dies. The card was a big hit, and I’m quite sure there’ll be other opportunities for a Super Girl stamp set.
I love, love, love it that you made such a delightfully sweet card to celebrate a bad habit conquered. We should all celebrate our successes with such happy abandonment …
You are the best grandmother!! I love it when you bring this set out because it certainly is a strong girl image!
Congratulations to your granddaughter on her accomplishment – breaking habits is definitely not easy! This card is a wonderful way to recognize her achievement – and the super girl image is so perfect. Thanks so much for playing along with us at TIME OUT!
Brilliant! I do love how you make cards for so many little (and big) events in your grandchildren’s lives. I’m sure this one will really help to cement her progress and give her a visible sigh of the progress she has made.
