Beloved Friend

Hello~ I think I'm getting this card in just under the wire for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge going on right now. Here's the sketch:

Here's my card:


I used MFT Blueprints #20 to cut my top panel and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder using MFT's Confetti background. I created my own bouquet wrap using a stitched scalloped square from MFT and folding it to look like some of the wraps I've been seeing lately on the web. I added some flowers from PTI's "Be" set that I stamped in Mint Julep, Vintage Jadeite and New Leaf inks. I cut the heart using MFT's Blueprints #27 and tucked it in among the flowers. I added a strip of black polka dotted washi tape and the skinny banner from MFT's Blueprints #27 and stamped it using sentiments from SSS Favorite Florals. The bouquet is tied with a little bit of bakers twine with a little star charm for a finishing touch.

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge ~ using Green, Friendship & Charm
Darnell's NBUS
Addicted To CAS ~ Gift
The Card Concept
Double D Challenges


Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy your journey today! ~ Birgit

  2. Very sweet! I love the pop of red that Double D suggested : ) it really does make a wonderful accent!

    I was in the word today and was really blessed by Luke 18:27. If you are facing anything hard in your life meditate on this awesome truth!! Something tells me you might need this today.

  9. This is sweet and adorable. My first take, I thought it was an ice cream cone (can you tell I am hungry), then I realized it is a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Good enough to eat.

  12. Your card is so sweet, Birgit. I admire the placement of your charm. And the green gingham makes me smile because my Grandma used to wear dresses with this pattern.
