lovely-friend.jpg  I’ve been thinking (a dangerous thing) alot about friends this past week…. so this morning’s Inspiration Challenge on SCS was the perfect opportunity for me to make a card for a ‘long lost friend’.   You can see the inspiration challenge piece here.

My inspiration came  entirely from the colors.   I rarely ever try to ‘recreate’ the piece.   I did a neat little thing with the sentiment on this.. I’ve seen it and done it before.   I stamped my sentiment once, stamped off, stamped the sentiment again.. this time slightly below and off center off the first stamping, then a third time.  It gives a ‘trailing’ effect that I thought looked pretty neat!

It’s been a marathon stamping week for me… counting this card, there have been 15 cards and 2 boxes created this week.   That’s huge for me!   Oh yeahhhhhh… the creative juices are flowing.   I just pray it lasts!

Stamps:  SU!’s Oh, So Lovely, sentiment from Fancy Flexible Phrases

Colors:  Handsome Hunter, Kraft, Real Red, GP White

Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics

Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, circle punches, gel pen, birds & swirls embossing folder, paper piercing tools

TFL!~

Love how you did your ribbon in the main image panel. Also like the sentiment technique - going to have to try that some time. Great balance and details on your card as always :) Let the creative juice flow — love seeing your creations!!
