If Friends Were Flowers . . .

I have time to share a quick card before I head off to meet several classmates to do some work for a presentation that's coming up way too soon. I made this bright and cheerful card using Beate's weekend sketch challenge.

This card came together really quickly. I used a pair of flower images from Papertrey Ink's Garden of Life stamp set, stamped randomly on a strip of white cardstock. I filled in the white space with a small dot image. Then, I used my Scor-Pal to create a diagonal grid pattern across the panel to add some texture and interest. The Scor-Pal makes creating the grid quick and easy--and accurate, too.

I added some yellow dome embellishments to the flower centers. Originally, I had planned to add Yellow Stickles and I did do that. The dome embellishments were a last-minute addition. They ended up on top of the Stickles, which adds a fun shimmer to them IRL. I'll have to remember that little trick . . .

The sentiment comes from an older Papertrey Ink set, Green Thumb. I stamped it to coordinate with the flower images. I added a ribbon piece and pair of plastic flowers to the sentiment panel to finish it off.

Garden of Life and Green Thumb stamp sets, Summer Sunrise and Lemon Tart Palette inks, Summer Sunrise, Lemon Tart, and white cardstock, Summer Sunrise grosgrain ribbon (Papertrey Ink); Clears plastic flowers (Making Memories); dome floral embellishments (Michaels); Yellow Stickles (Ranger); Scor-Pal
