Best Friend Hugs

Since starting my blog I think this has to be my favourite card so far, I'm really pleased with the result.

I am entering this card into the following two challenges:

 
Clean & Simple Sketch
 
 
 
Week 103 Theme - Friends
 
 
So here it is
 
 
 a closer view...
 

 
 
When I saw that the latest Less is More theme was 'Friends' I knew exactly which stamp I wanted to use, its called 'Best Friends' by Wild Rose Studio.  Its such a fun and girlie stamp, I love it!  I stamped the image and coloured with ProMarkers and although still a novice I really enjoyed colouring this one.  I chose the patterned paper I wanted to use before I started colouring the image.  I still only have a few ProMarkers in my collection but managed to match it up ok.  The design paper I used is from a paper pad by First Edition Paper and has glossy, glittered accents.  I took the following photo using the flash to try to pick up on the glitter.
 
 
 
I die cut the image and popped it up on 3D foam and then finished off the card with some peach grosgrain ribbon, an extra large brad with a rub-on sentiment and an adhesive pearl.
 
Woohoo, actually really chuffed :)
 
Materials used:
  • Design Paper: First Edition Paper - Spring Feast Paper Pad
  • Cardstock: Kanban 300gsm Brilliant White Cardstock
  • Stamp: Wild Rose Studio - Best Friends
  • Ink: Impress - Jet Black
  • Coloured with ProMarkers
  • Die: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Reverse Wonky Rectangles
  • Brad and Rub-On: Hot Off The Press - Words, Hearts & Flowers
  • Ribbon and pearl from stash
 
Thanks so much for visiting, I really appreciate your interest.

    Cute image Neets, but we do like to see a little white space on cards at "Less is More".
    Lovely colouring!
    Thanks so much

      Thanks Jen, I got carried away with this one as I wanted it all to gel together, never mind, I'll try to refrain from adding more next time :D x
