A friend is in the process of re-vamping and re-decorating her craft room so that she'll have more room and better storage options but she's been at it for more than 3 weeks now and feels like it will take forever before it's finished. I understand since 3 weeks without being able to do any kind of creative crafting would drive me crazy, to say nothing of not knowing when it will be done! I mean, it's not like spring cleaning which is normally done in less than a week.
I won my choice of an image at Sasayaki Glitter last week and this one just jumped out at me. I thought it would make a perfect encouragement card for her. :-D
Since I have to mail this to her, I thought something CAS (translate "flat") would be the best idea. But I did do several layers. I dug out my ProMarkers to color the image, using lots of yellows because she loves yellow. I cut the image with a die from Gina Marie, then inked the edges.
I used two other dies from that same set to cut the stacked rectangles I put in the corners before adding the image. I dug through my stash of little, hand-sewn, bows until I found the one I had already dyed yellow with a marker. I knew I had one and it was pretty easy to find in the middle of all the white bows.
Ages ago, I quit making those bows out of various colored ribbons and decided to make them all from white satin ribbon, then dye them whatever color I need. I purchase the same white ribbon every time in batches of 10 yards. It takes a smidge over 4 inches to sew the little bows, and I have to trim off about half an inch total from the tails.

How precious is this, what a fab image and great colouring. Yes we do all need encouragement from time to time. Your card is a great way to give it.

What an adorable image and your sentiment is perfect for it and for the occasion. I started setting up my new office/craft/art space a few months ago and, while it is quite functional, it is not completely organized yet. Then there is the getting used to where everything is all over again. I feel for your friend. It was quite a while before I could do any kind of crafting and it was driving me a bit crazy.
