Happiness in Friendships

Hello all, thanks for stopping by. Today's card is thanks to Jen Del Muro's I{heart}2stamp monthly sketch.

I really liked working with this sketch, it helped me work with less paper and use a technique rarely use.

Once again I used My Mind's Eye Stella Rose - Hattie and frayed the edges for a different  look. My favorite part was the flower, the twine and string swirls. I punched two different size circles and used the stronger adhesive tape and then secured the string and twine slowly starting from the outside. I hope you like, Happy scrapping.

Friendship card

Hola friends, thanks for stopping by. I wanted to fill you in my latest endevour... Remember the friend I spent some time with in Vegas...? Well she's quiet the entrepreneur and she's always on the move. Right now her latest project is to provide an upscale location and information website to the local salsa dancers in Las Vegas. And an awesome idea... especially since the only time she can get in her salsa dancing, was when ever she had some business to attend to in L.A.... Hell, sometimes she'd drive 4 hours just to dance Salsa for the weekend... although she loves it so, we as her friends, couldn't help to worry about her when she'd go on her journey back home.(sigh)

Anyway, when she saw my latest creations, she brought up the thought of me selling my cards at the venue.... what a thoughtful friend. So here's a card with my friend Jackie in mind.

What I loved most about this card is that at first glance you'd think I used a purple color, but in reality it's actually the SU! Basic gray. I started with the basic gray for the base, followed by the "Old olive", the mirage piece if you will, the designer series "A walk in the park" paper. Mind you, if you saw the piece by itself, you'd know it was gray? But when placed against the "Old olive" I somehow got the illusion of the purple... baffling really. So I continue.... for the center piece, I started with a scalloped circle with "Sahara sand". Then I cut the next piece circle at 3 5/8" and dried embossed it with my cuddle bug template "Spots and Dots". I wanted to show the layereing pieces by giving it some texture. Then I added another piece of "Basic gray" at 2 3/4" followed by "Very Vanilla" cut by the Spellbinder die cutter in the "labels three" nestabilities set.
I hope you like. Tooddles.

Friendship Blooms

Hi again! So I want to mix it up with this site I ran into from a member of the splitcoast site. Its called Our Creative Corner, it give you color challenges. I think it helps alot when I'm stump for what colors to use next. So this is the card I came up with, I hope you like.

I used the Friendship Blooms and regal rose, chocolate chip, and pretty in pink paper. I found the beads buried in my accessorie drawer and I thought it would pop more.
