Kim is sharing this card on the Paper Smooches blog today! It uses the thumbs-up hand and a sentiment from the just-released Helping Hands set. A while ago, I dreamt of a hand set and when Kim came out with one I was ecstatic! There are so many fun things you can do with these hands. They work for all occasions: baby, wedding, love, friendship, tween, teen, masculine, sympathy, etc. That pretty much covers everything, right?
To make this card, I stamped, coloured and fussy cut two of the thumbs-up hands. I also cut around the fingers so I could wrap twine around the hands to make them look life-like, as if they were really holding on to rope which is perfect for the sentiment. This would be a great card to send to a friend in distress and we all know that happens once in a while!
