Brutus Monroe | Life is Better with Friends

Hey friends!

It’s Jess and I’m back to share another card with you today. I’ve been trying to push myself to create more clean and simple designs, so this was a good challenge for me.

To create my card, I used the Paper Cranes stamp set and Raven Detail Ink in my Mini MISTI. This allowed me to stamp the image several times in the same location for a crisp impression.

I wanted this card to be very simple and for the sentiment to really speak the loudest, so I didn’t add any additional colors or embellishments. I stamped out ‘life is better with friends’ from Flower Doodle and left the card front alone.

I mounted my card front on foam tape for dimension and then adhered it to a white A2 sized card base. I sent this to a dear friend who recently attempted suicide and needed a reminder that he had friends in his corner. A perfectly simple, but strong message.
