I have a wonderful friend who regularly mails cards out to family and friends, some just to say hi, some to help perk them up if they are having a hard time. It's such a wonderful expression of caring to write and send that card in the mail and to know the person on the other end will get a nice surprise and a bit of joy when they open the mail.
I made this card as a bit of homage to that process and also to remind me to send a card just because rather than just for big occasions. So here's to you my friend... you know who you are :O). For this card I used the Lovely Inside & Out Stamp Set it's such a fun set with it's bold words and shapes. This stamp set also co-ordinates with the Lovely Words Thinlits which are just gorgeous. When purchased as a bundle you can save 10% and know you will get lots of use out of both as they co-ordinate so well together.
I stamped the Fresh Fig circle image first as a background, the trick with any background is to stamp your images in a triangle - this helps balance things out. Then I cleaned the circle stamp and stamped it again in Sweet Sugarplum. Lastly I stamped the Smoky Slate droplet image randomly over the background. I stamped the word Friend in Sweet Sugarplum first and then stamped the Hello in Fresh Fig so I could line it up as I liked. Then I punched the layer with the Triple Banner punch and tied a bow with the Whisper White Bakers twine and layered it all together.
