I went with the colors, sketch, friendship & stenciling. Thought it would be fun to stencil some of the sketch elements. Did this on a piece of Neenah white, then die cut it with a stitched rectangle and added to an A2 card. Next I stamped a floral spray, colored with Copics and fussy cut. Stamped and die cut a sentiment circle. Added the spray & sentiment to the card with a few gold gems - done! I was excited when the card traveled from Minnesota to Switzerland in less than a week!!
I received this gorgeous card from longtime crafty friend Greta (GG Creations), along with some die cuts and an embossed panel. I just love how she used the May colors - thanks, Greta!!
