I have some lovely papers that I just stroke and sniff and put carefully back in the drawer - but today this pretty one finally met my craft knife and a die. I cut of the narrow decorative panel from the paper before adding a square of the green side as the background. I die cut 2 panels in blue (the reverse) and matted on green. For the centre panel I added a strip of the decorative panel before die cutting. I extended the die a little to make it a little longer. After matting on green I stamped the encouraging words. I added the decorative strip to the base of the card with a few light green gems to finish.

What a gentle and lovely card, Sandie. No wonder you have kept the paper for a while. Perfect day to use it!!

Sandie, I think a tear formed in my eye along with a sad smile. We can all relate to our extra special stash. This is such a beautiful card, with a beautiful sentiment.
