Faithful Friend

One who finds a faithful friend find a treasure!  Any one who has a friend that sticks by them through thick and thin, knows the treasure this sentiment is referring to!   A soft stamped image adds a gentle touch to the main image.  The Framed Tulip and Fancy Fan embossing folders add texture and dimension!

The flower image was created by inking the stamp with Stampin' Write markers, spritzing with water and stamped onto watercolor paper.  Image was stamped three times without reinking.  The little bow was created with the ribbon/button pack from SaleABration which recently ended.

Treasure your faithful friend(s)...and don't forget to share the treasure with someone by being a faithful friend!

Framed Friends

Hi there Stampin' Friends!  What a blessing it is to have a friend to lean on....or better yet, let a friend lean on you!  I have created this sweet card to look like a framed photo on a wall...that was my vision anyway.  I am pleased with the way it turned out.  Coloring was always a joy when I was growing up.  It was a family thing.  My Mom was an amazing 'Colorer'.  (Might not be a word, but that is what she was!)  My goal was always to make my pictures as pretty as hers were.  It was like she was gifted with a special talent when it came to putting a crayon to a color book. I never mastered it like she did!   Sweet memories.  I still enjoy coloring to this day.  Here I have used a blender pen and Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils.  Might have to give it a try with markers and a blender pen next...or an aqua painter and reinkers...Watercolor Wander Crayons and a blender pen...the possibilities are exciting and for me...relaxing!
