A true friend...

I hope you're all having a wonderful Thursday! Traffic wasn't as bad as it could've been, so I made it here just about on time. Whoo hoooo! Some days my commute takes an hour an 45 minutes, and others it takes almost twice that! School will be starting back up in a couple of weeks, so traffic will return to it's horrendous proportions shortly! :( Oh well, summer was nice while it lasted! :)

I wanted to make a card using my new True Friend stamp set... I just ~love~ these stamps! I really like that the stamps in the Holiday Mini are die cut... Talk about a time saver! Peel, stick, stamp! LOL

I started with a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card base in Soft Sky. I then cut out a little strip of Groovy Guava (2 x 5 1/2") and stamped the large flower image randomly before adhering it to a strip of Basic Gray CS. I also stamped my main image in Basic Gray on Whisper White (2 x 3"), then layered that with Basic Gray after adding a clear rhinestone to the center of the flower, and adding a little white taffeta ribbon. I used my mono to attach the two layers to the card front, and then stamped my sentiment in Soft Sky. You can't really see the sparkle in the photo, but I used my Sakura glitter pen to give it a little shimmer.
