Paper hugs

I like the term 'paper hugs' for cards that are sometimes difficult to design.  This card is for a special granddaughter who has recently been through some tough times.

I made the base card with Twinking H2Os on watercolor paper.  When dry, I placed it in an embossing folder and ran it through my very old Big Shot.  I then tapped a Brilliance Pearlescent Lavender ink pad lightly over the embossed areas.  I made the frame with 2 stitched rectangle dies.  The hugs was cut with a Hero Arts die, 3 layers glued on top of each other for thickness.  The base card is a light grey.
