  Hello  My Crafty Friends! Today I have a card of encouragement  I created for a friend that is going through some serious stuff at the moment.  Once again I have used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Landscape Rose from Botanical Garden Release along with Black Alder from Winter's Grace Release and Gingko from Victorian Garden .  Hugs is from a die set by Suzanne Cannon called Sending Hugs Kisses . My card is a 6" X 6" tent fold card created from white 110# cardstock.  I cut a piece of black shimmery (hard to see in picture) 6" X 6" then cut a large oval in center.  Next I cut a piece of green shimmery cardstock wide enough to cover the oval opening attaching to back of black piece using Bearly Art Glue .  I used Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back and adhered to card front. For the inside I made a small card from a file I bought off Etsy.  I reduced it down printed on white cardstock and backed with a piece of black cardstock....
