Hello, peoples!
A sweet little "friendy" card for you today...something out of my comfort zone...which is good...I think. ;)
The reason I say it's out of my comfort zone is that I generally like things uncluttered, and in this one, the bow is just about ready to gobble up the turtle sticker! ;)
I used my NEW Hero Arts stamps, "Thinking of You Messages" and am so so happy! I now have TWO HA stamps sets! Woo! ;) Pathetic for most scrappers, but for a gal who used to not like stamping, I'm on a roll!
I made this card with a friend in mind...she'd been having a rough time lately, so I thought this would be nice pick me up. Of course, I had to have inspiration before I could get going, and these are the spots I found it.
YNS, The Pixie Cottage, Design Doilies ("blue satin sashes" satin ribbon, "when I'm feeling sad" to cheer up my friend, and "melt into spring" the flowers on the turtle :)), Practical Scrappers (the embossing is on the edge of the card), Crafty Ann, and finally, Hero Arts! :)
And for another friend who recently celebrated a birthday, watch the mailbox 'cuz you got something coming your way soon! :)
