Cierra Girl, hiding behind the camera, is a girl to reckon with! With the saying from I Am Woman to show how she is building herself to be stronger woman, this card is for all of those who've had people throw bricks at you and try to tear you down! Let's quit tearing each other down and lift each other up! We are blessed and its time to share those blessings.
This was stamped on plain white cardstock, masking Ciera and stamping the bricks using a stencil and Tim Holtz distress inks. This was cut out using a My Favorite Things die and placed on a standard Kraft base. The sentiment was stamped using Stayz On ink on clear acetate. With the addition of a few matching flowers and a couple of strands of twine, it stands out as one of my favorites.

Yes, we all need encouragement, but sometimes we REALLY need it. Sometimes it's had to know what to say, but just letting the person know that you care enough to make a card with them in mind is enough.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was a fast week. I have really enjoyed your artwork and your blog. I hope you continue this blog. As far as this stamp, l actually received it in the mail today. I will definitely be using it this weekend to encourage another person. I agree with your idea. We need to lift each other up.
ReplyDeleteI love the card and your message. I have talked to many Unies and they have offered so much encouragement to all of us. They always help if you ask a question and are always willing to share tips on your work. They have lifted me up several times and have given me challenges to do more. Thank you for all you have shared this week with us
