Unprecedented times warrant gentle reminders: Do not forget to Love your family, friends and even strangers. Make certain they know beyond all doubt. Be Patient, Be Kind, Be Tolerant….we all handle stressful situations differently…be mindful. Find some joy during your day, crafting, writing, reading, playing with your kids, seeing a sun drenched silhouette of a child’s, or other loved one, smiling face….whatever it is that settles your heart and mind. Find some Peace with all that is around, a lot more difficult to conjure these days.
The card created for this challenge has a double meaning….Easter is around the corner and the Color Challenge from Global Design Project #GDP233 using So Saffron, Petal Pink and Pool Party were screaming Easter to me. According to the Bible, Easter is about the rising of Christ from the dead… a new beginning. A new beginning is coming, follow the procedures the CDC has suggested we follow, that new beginning could happen sooner rather than later. The stamp set I chose is a reminder that we are Blessed, even in these trying, scary times. Lets get to this card…..
This card came pretty easily to me. The colors screamed Easter and the only stamp set that was also screaming at me was this one with the huge bold word “Blessed”, the stamp set is To a Wild Rose. This set makes the most beautiful large single flower image of all the Stampin’ Up Flowers….in my humble opinion. The meanings for a pink or yellow rose are gratitude, appreciation and admiration, friendship and joy. All of these words apply to our world more than ever these days. Pink: Gratitude to those working their tales off to bring an end to this pandemic, Appreciation to those who are willing to risk their health to provide assistance to those who need it most, and the others who are working tirelessly to provide for others, Admiration to those with a small business having to face an unexpected, paralyzing economy killer and to the patrons who come together to help these small businesses try to keep it together. Yellow: Friendship and Joy speak for themselves.
The outline of the roses is stamped in Petal Pink, then filled with a 2nd generation of So Saffron and Petal Pink. The leaves are stamped in Pool Party, then filled with 2nd generation, Pool Party, So Saffron and Petal Pink. I love how this combination created a bit more realistic looking leaf than Pool Party would have alone created. One Rose and sprig of leaves is stamped directly on Whisper White cardstock then cut with the larger rectangle from the Stitched so Sweetly Dies. The other rose and leaf sprig is stamped on rogue whisper white pieces and die cut with the coordinating Wild Rose Dies. The Petal Pink stamped sentiment “Blessed” is also from the To a Wild Rose stamp set. The sentiment is cut with a Stitched Rectangle die then mounted on top with dimensionals so it had more prominence. All the pieces come together on a piece of checkered Petal Pink Designer Series Paper from the 6″x6″ Subtles collection, also cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die, that is then attached to a piece of fun foam then attached to the Whisper White card base.

The racoon in the Special Someone Stamp set has also won my heart. I have both stamp sets and I am so excited to see the coordinating dies.
