Good Tuesday, Sep 2 and 55 degrees here at the shore in NJ – not typical weather for this early in the month. When the kids return to school it is usually hot as blazes. But not this year… My card today is more than just thinking of you; it’s recognizing that life is not always easy. I used the Prairie Grass stamp set from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES – it’s available to customers now. It’s become a favorite for things peaceful, restful, reassuring.

I cut 1″ strips of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP (1 x 5 3/8) and added them to a Basic White background. Next I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Prairie Grass stamp set. I took a length of Mossy Meadow & Gold trim, wrapped it around and tied a knot, securing it with a glue dot. I then added three Low Profile Sparkle Dtos under the sentiment. Finally, I added a single Adhesive-Backed Dragonfly. This completed front panel was added to a Mossy Meadow card base.

For the inside of the card, I stamped this grassy image four times across the bottom with Mossy Meadow ink. And yes, the stamp comes from Prairie Grass stamp set. I added three more of the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies as they are very flat and so appropriate for this grassy scene. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card and voila – this card is ready to send.

For the envelope… yet another panel of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. Again on the front, I stamped the same grassy image in Mossy Meadow ink from Prairie Grass stamp set to carry out the theme. This card will be sent today to a friend of mine who lives near the beach and diagnosed with ALS. Such an awful disease….
