For a Wonderful Friend

It's the weekend already and the last Saturday in August. How did that happen? 

I've got a really quick card to show you today. It's one we made in our Thursday card group and Sue M. had the kit for us. She inherited a bunch of stash from someone so the stamp set and die cuts are unknown. I think it's a cool card though. I think the image is a mix of succulents and wild roses. Let's see what you think and what Allsorts Challenge Week 690/1 AG with Option of Roses thinks!


I colored the large image with Stampin' Blends: Light and Dark Old Olive , Dark Shaded Spruce and Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo and cut it out with a die. It's adhered to a Basic Black mat, which is adhered to the Basic White cardstock base. I'm also entering my card in the Colour Crazy Craft Challenge Week 34 - Anything Goes Colouring Challenge, along with the Creative Fingers Challenge #237 - AAG.

We cut the large letters out of Gold Foil and adhered them with liquid glue. The stamp had outlines of those letters so we knew where to place them.

The "For a Friend" was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Basic White scraps and cut with Stampin' Up's Paper Trimmer. We cut mats of Basic Black and adhered the mats and sentiments together with liquid glue. Then they were adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

That's all folks! Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend. I hope you are a wonderful friend to someone.
