JUST CHILL!

Is It Really Easy To Just Chill?

How many times has someone said, "Just chill, everything will be ok! Well, sometimes it's easier said than done and the person saying it really means well because they don't want to see you worry yourself into a tizzy.

It might seem like the person saying "Just Chill" is not very compassionate or understanding. It might seem like they are minimizing your concern at hand which is major for you because you are experiencing the problem. 

But, think back to every adverse situation you have encountered. Everything really does usually end up being okay. It may take some time to become "okay" but usually you end up being okay. The card I created for this blog post is a card to encourage the recipient to hang in there because everything will be okay, though it may seem like it won't be for a long, long time.

I was inspired to write this card because sometimes I just need to chill! This card was my second attempt. The first card, I scrapped because it turned out badly. I almost posted it to show you where I messed up but I decided it was too awful to post. I showed the card to my husband and he thought it was nice but I knew better. 👎 He's not very crafty. He's a tech person. See now you know why he thought is was nice. I was too embarrassed to post it so it went to file 13. 😞

Ok, Ok, enough of the rambling about the hot mess card...sorry for being a digresser. Lol!!

So, as I get back on track, I am pretty pleased with my second card. It is a clean and simple card. I didn't do anything fancy as I wanted this one to be clean and simple. Alright, not really. Truth is, I was weary from working so hard on the previous card that turned out badly that I only had enough energy left to push and squeeze this one out. LOL! It was worth the squeeze and push I think.

Now let's get down to what supplies I used to create this card.

• Altenew Inks: Jet Black, Warm Sunshine, Dark Chocolate, Parrot, Mocha, Sand Dunes, Expresso
• Stamp Sets: Grateful (acorns), Breathe (sentiment)
• 80 lb. card stock (always my go to)
• Paper Studio Simply Glittered Card base
• Rose Gold washi tape
• Fun Foam for panel dimension
• Rose Gold Sequins
• Inkadinkado Mask Paper
• Matte Medium adhesive used for adhering sequins
• Scor Tape 3/8" & 2"

I you decide to dive into card making leave me a comment below. I'd love to see your creative side shine through!

Welp, this is it until my next card creation!

I'll see you all in the next post so be blessed and be safe!
