Hurry, hurry, hurry! I have visitors arriving today and will be here through the weekend. I wanted to play in the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday blog challenge #125 challenge today...really bad. LOL So, I ran to the craft room and got busy. Their challenge this week is to make a friend card and you must have the word 'friend' in the sentiment.
I had a terrible time with this card because I could not find the designer paper I wanted to use. Probably because I was in a hurry. In the end, I think I am happy with it.
I am using two of Flourishes sets, FRIENDLY REMINDERS for the sentiment and A YEAR IN FLOWERS CALENDAR Set 3 - Sept thru December. Well, it's July but I guess that's close enough.
I used a good bit of stickles on the butterfly and centers of flowers and some greenery around the sentiment. Colored with Copics. I used a corner punch at the top. Of course, I sponged with my Memento Dandelion ink which I love.
Also, I'm entering my card into the Divas by Design challenge #5-die cuts and/or punches. I certainly used several of those.
