You’re My Best Friend
Hi readers! Happy Sunday to you! I’m pleased to have another card for you featuring the always inspiring Laurie Schmidlin, using some fabulous Paper Smooches stamps & dies!
Enjoy!
To create my card I started by layering on some patterned diagonal striped patterned paper. For the background, I stamped four of the sentiments from the Bosom Buddy set onto a coordinating piece of patterned paper (I chose one with a very subtle pattern so that the stamped sentiments would still be seen). For the focal image, I die cut the Big Friend die twice and then adhered them together so that the bottom layer was peeking out from under the top layer. I adhered the friend word to some vellum and then attached it to my card. For embellishment, I tied a simple bow and added some enamel dots.
THis card is wonderful simple elements layered together to create a beautiful end result thanks!
So pretty, I love this little card. Looking at it makes me happy. Thanks for sharing it with us.
