Sometimes All You Need Is A Hug!

Hello and welcome to my blog, it's a pretty dull day here in Bournemouth and has been raining but it's been so dry, it's much needed.

A simple card today but I adore this image - I made it for someone going though a tough time.  Excuse the wonky photo!

The image comes with the sentiment and is a rubber stamp from Creative Expressions by    Andy Skinner called, you guessed it, 'Sometimes all you need is a hug'.  Unfortunately              Creative Expressions has now closed down due to retirement but this stamp may still be available if you search around for it online.

I stamped and embossed the image using Versafine Clair Nocturne and Wow clear detail embossing powder and coloured with watercolour pens adding a touch of clear Wink of Stella which you can't see in the photo.  The scallop die is Julie Hickey but I can't remember the name of the set and its mounted on a 5 x 7 Kraft card blank which I made myself.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
