Perfect Sentiments Friendship Challenge

I love the colors that were chosen using this photo to make the card shown on the website.  http://perfectsentimentschallenge.blogspot.com/


I thought I'd combine it with the My Favorite Things Challenge #41.
 
I started out with SU Early Espresso for the card base.  The dp is Basic Gray Figgy Pudding.  I love BG.  I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black on SU Very Vanilla and then used my Copics (BG000, BG11, and BG45) to color in the Friends.  I punched out 2 flowers using SU Boho Blossoms punch out of the Figgy Pudding dp and adhered them to the sentiment panel using 2 Vanilla brads.  I sponged around the panel using SU Cool Carribean and layered it on top of the base dp layer.




For the base (inside of the card), I cut a piece of the Very Vanilla c/s and layered it on the base and then put a strip of Recollections Boutique Fleur trim across the edge.  A good card's got to have bling, so I put 3 little Martha Stewart rhinestones up in the corner.   That's it!

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.

    Maggie, you did a beautiful job on your card! I love your take on the photo - doing the stripes as well as the colors. Your choice of dp made it just out of this world! I love BG, too.
