Happy Friday! And Happy Independence Day to my American crafty friends! I'm posting on the My Craft Spot blog today, but of course am sharing it here, too! :o) This card is part of my contribution for this month's I Feel the Love Project recipients, where we are creating for Friendship Home: an agency that supports victims of domestic violence and their children.
This encouragement card was a joint effort! As I continue to slowly recover from a shoulder and arm injury, my sweetheart is helping me with the parts that involve a lot of arm movement so I can return to crafting. He is an expert with my Big Shot! :o)

I used a few goodies from Kimberly's newest release! The sentiment is one of my favorites, which is from the beautiful Clock Time stamp set. The pretty floral border is part of the Fancy Edges 2 metal die set, which I've trimmed with Light Denim crinkle ribbon.
The kite is an adorable cut file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons, which I accented with pearls. The center one is a pretty heart, as I loved how the pearl design looks like a love-centered cross. :o) I made Traditional Twine bows for extra textural and fluttery fun.
My card base was made with Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles and my Lily Rose papers came with a magazine. (Such gorgeous freebie papers!) Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day, friends!
