FS135 Thank You For Being a Friend

Hi All!! I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend. I know many in the USA are celebrating the holiday weekend as sort of a last hoorah for summer. I hope wherever you are that this weekend has been a beautiful as it is here. The sun is shining and it is 74 degrees. Very comfortable!!

Today I would like to share a card that I made for today's FS135 Challenge at Splitocoast casing one of Lori McAree's Gorgeous creations. She does such an awesome job creating CAS cards. Something I often struggle with. I just love adding the extra details. I chose this one to case: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1385409.

I kept Lori's basic layout and the black and white color combo and changed the sentiment and image to an Our Daily Bread Designs Doodles1 Get Well and Doodles 3 Friendship stamp. I changed the circle to an oval and used gold baubles instead of black pearls (the placement of the pearls is also different) I changed the punch to the Morrocan Lace Punch.
I also dry embossed the white with Leaves.

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Doodles 1 Get Well, Doodles 3 Friendship

Paper: Black and White

Accessories: Cuttlebug Leaves Folder, Gold Baubles, Oval Spellbinders, black grosgrain, Moraccan Lace punch from EK Success

You can win these two sets if you participate in the Our Daily Bread Designs Design Team Pocket Card Challenge. Click here for more details. You have until September 17!

Thanks for stopping by. Thanks as always for your wonderful comments. I so enjoy reading them!!

blessings,
Chris
