Best Friends take 2!

When I posted this card, a friend liked it and asked if I could make one for her to give to her best friend. Normally I don't like to take "requests" per se, but thought this one would be easy enough so I did it!

The stamp is Best Friends by Karen Middleton for Sweet Pea Stamps.  You can find the digi stamp~HERE and the rubber stamp~HERE!

I colored the image with copics and then paired it with S.E.I.'s With All My Heart papers. A doily, a Fiskars border punch, rhinestones and stickles finish off the card.

Best Friends

My daughter went to her best friends house for a sleepover a few weeks ago~ it seemed so odd without her at home but she had fun so that's the important thing. This sleepover was a belated birthday party so she needed a card...Mom to the rescue! 

When I first saw this cute stamp~ Best Friends by Karen Middleton for Sweet Pea Stamps I knew I had to have it as it reminds me so much of my daughter and her best friend. You can find the digi stamp~HERE and the rubber stamp~HERE!

I colored the image with copics and added some sparkle to the belt buckle with a Wink Of Stella gold pen. My papers are from my stash and then I used a Martha Stewart punch and a doily to finish the card.

BONUS PROJECT!!!!

Elegant Lady on the Moon
This stamp is an elegant image from Artist ching-chou kuik in her Fantasy Art line for Sweet Pea Stamps. My version here looks so very different from her original coloring on the website. I thought this image could also be converted into a Halloween style image if you liked. The stamp is called "Time Flies."This card folds down the center. To ensure that it opens of course, adhere the image to only half of the fold. I used a lot of white ink to make the coloring on the backdrop of the card lighter and silkier. I wanted it to look like fabric, like the image is floating on top. Then I added a row of small buttons on each side of the crease where the card folds together.

Project Materials: Cardstock (Bazzill, Neenah); Rubber Stamps (Sweet Pea Stamps); Ink (Memento, Versamark); Buttons (Jesse James buttons); Adhesives (Popdots, Glue Dots, Double stick tape); Color (Copic Markers);

Happy Stamping!!
