Hello Friend

This week's blogger challenge theme is friendship.  I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to put together this feminine friend-themed design.

I used a trio of coordinating patterned papers from a Fancy Pants paper pad for the circles.  Each circle is layered on a red mat so they stand out nicely from the pale pink background panel.  I placed the palest paper circle at the bottom so I could stamp the sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Heart-2-Heart #4 set on it.

For the embellishment at the left side of the bottom circle, I used a die cut telephone.  To add interest to the die cut piece, I stamped the phone's dial on a scrap of paper and punched it out with a circle punch, then adhered it to the phone with foam tape.  The cord is a piece of hemp cord that I twisted around my paper piecing tool to give it a somewhat coiled look like a real phone cord.  Unfortunately, it lost a little of its twisty-ness along the way . . .

Materials Used:
Heart-2-Heart #4 stamp set, Heart-2-Heart #4 die (Papertrey Ink); Memento Rhubarb Stalk and Gray Flannel inks (Tsukineko); Blushing Bride, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Love Note 6x6 paper pad (Fancy Pants); circle dies (Spellbinders); hemp cord (Hemptique); red grosgrain ribbon; foam tape
